Natalie's 5th Birthday
A Day in Pictures
Birthday Girl
We went to the mall to ride the
carousel.
Then we ate some lunch, we all had different
things, the fun of a food court.
Then we went to Build a Bear -
here Natalie is giving her bear a heart.
She washes her bear
and picks out her clothes.
 She made a pink bear
that blows kisses.  Since
she dressed her in a
Fiona dress, her name
became Pinkie Fiona.  
Nathan did a Shrek while
we were there, too.  They
both really liked it.  
Natalie is really into pink
right now.
Then they made pixie sticks at the candy shop and
took them on the ice cream truck ride.
They had to ride the simulated roller coaster
ride.  
What the hey - it's party day!
Finally we found something that was free - a little play ground right in the mall.  
Obviously sponsored by St. Marys Medical Center.
Nathan & Natalie ride the Carousel again.  Natalie is now
tall enough that I do not have to stand next to her, she was
so proud that she could wave to me from the ride while I
watched.
After leaving the mall (whew!) we took some bread to
Garvin Park and fed the ducks and geese.
Along with some other families, we watched  a
snack weave itself almost into a knot.  This was
going on over by the rest rooms.  eek!
We did play for awhile until just tuckered
out.
We went home and Natalie opened a couple more
presents I had gotten her.
