Leland celebrated his 4th birthday back on July 16th. He woke up to a bedroom full of balloons. The day was complete with farm barn tours at Michigan State University, ribs, and monster truck cake and cookies!! Nathan was able to get the day off work, which made it all the more special. Before we left Leland opened a couple of presents. He finally got the white dog and Blue Thunder monster trucks he has been asking for. It is so nice to be able to go into Target and Meijer without hearing can we look for a Blue Thunder!!! And thank goodness we had a hard time finding a Blue Thunder because we wouldn't have been able not to buy one if we had found it when he was begging to look for one. However, his favorite gift of the day was his John Deere planter, so you can guess what he has been busy doing!! Our barn tour started in the poultry barns. There were plenty of chickens, eggs, and turkeys!! Next we visited the cow barn, this was by far the best. We had a hard time getting the kids to leave and we were only barely out of the driveway of the cow barns and Leland was already asking to go back. The last barn we visited was the sheep barn. While there we were able to watch one get a bath. We then headed back home so I could finish decorating the cake (I have to say this one actually turned out pretty decent!!). We then headed to dinner at Leland's choice restaurant Saucy Dogs. He had the same birthday dinner as last year, ribs. We then headed back home to open more presents with a small group of family and eat cake. This was a long day, but we really had a great time.
