after naps, we headed to our local mexican restaurant for a super early birthday celebration for bro. the kids dug in the sand and ate their share of rice & beans. carson wasn't so sure about the sombreros...i think he was pretty much spent. his day was pretty busy!

our morning was perfect. the weather was amazing, the kids had a blast, and we had mama c. with us! we can't wait to go back to the zoo again.

and in case you missed it, i wrote about carson turning 22 months here. i think it got buried somewhere along the way :)

hugs!
