The next part of our celebration was this past weekend. Their newest fascination is with cows. So, I found a beef cattle farm about thirty minutes away and we rode there Saturday. The farmer was very nice and took us to see a baby calf which had been born about three days earlier. Her momma was very protective and stood between us and the baby.
We then went picking blueberries (as all of the boys love these). Jim joked that the farmer should have weighed the boys before and after our pick :)
After picking 12 pounds of blueberries, we were all very hot, tired, and hungry! Since we were only 15 minutes from Danville, we decided to go to the Red Lobster there in celebration of the boys' birthday. Jim and I had been there once before and enjoyed it. No long wait and the best part for children---a gentleman who makes balloon animals for you! The twins really enjoyed this as you can see by the smiles on their faces. It was so much fun watching them be so excited:
Nathan made me laugh at the restaurant. He opened a pack of sugar, poured it on his bread plate and proceeded to eat it directly from the plate. Luckily he was so tired it didn't keep him awake too long on the ride home:
To end their birthday celebration, we had cake and ice cream Sunday night (at 9:00 at night because the boys had been to Vacation bible school and that was the only time we could fit it in our busy day! :) When Jim went to get them from VBS, I set up the dining room for their "surprise party". They loved it!
Here is what the cake looked like before they got a hold of it:

This is the end result...MMMMM, Don't you want a piece now?
And finally, this is how you eat cake after a long, tiring day when you just don't have the energy to pick up your fork:
