Yesterday I awoke to a beautiful text message from a certain sister reminding me that I was now OVER a quarter of a century old. I am now closer to being thirty than I was to being twenty. And while this makes me sad, I would not go back.
Sean was a sweetheart and made the girls and I pancakes, and he even attempted to make animal pancakes (which are Taylee's favorites...bunnies, bears, and mickey mouse). We then headed to Idaho Falls to drop off phones at the store up there. Sean then took us all out to lunch, which is always an escapade in itself, and then we headed up to Bear World. And while the admission prices are high enough to make me physically nauseated, it was still a lot of fun. Plus, the admission price now includes the little amusement rides, so it almost made it worth the price. Taylee and Brynlee were so excited to drive through the park and see the elk, buffalo, and bears. We finally spotted one of the wolves that are there, except, it was a little disturbing because it only had ONE eye. I didn't know what to tell Taylee when she asked about it.

The girls got to see the bear cubs, but I think they just liked the fence, cuz they just sat there and giggled at each other as they bounced up and down against it.
Taylee got to go on the little rides. This was her first time on rides like these and she was grinning from ear to ear the entire time. But I'm not sure who had more fun...her or Sean!
There is also the cutest little petting zoo there. There are chickens, goats, deer, and a HUGE pot-bellied pig. They had a two week old white lamb that followed Taylee around the whole time. Taylee was so sad when we had to leave it.
It was a great birthday. And despite feeling pretty old, and always being reminded of it by a certain loving sister, again I would not go back. Sometimes I see these new fashions that are coming out and I think, "No way!" and then I find myself shopping in the 'grandma section' as I use to call it. And even though I still listen to Z103, I find myself changing the station more than I use to. I just don't like some of the songs that are now hits. So, yes I am getting old. But, oh well. I'll take it with a smile.

For the record I did actually have a lot of fun on the rides without getting sick!!!! I can handle the little kid ones!!!!
Please don't say your old because that makes me ancient!!! It sounds like you had a wonderful day. I guess I now I know you like grandma clothes, so I'll have to remember that for your next birthday!!!! Ha, Ha... Love ya Brooke
I'm glad you had such a great birthday! Taylee is adorable with those little lambs...how precious! And don't listen to anyone about getting old, their just jealous because you get better with age and they will never catch up..humpf..at least that's what I tell myself:D
By the way, I just finished FableHaven & LOVED IT!!! Thanks for the good read.
I can't believe one of your sisters would say such rude things about your age!!! How inconsiderate of her :) HAHAHAHA. Don't worry I'm only a couple years behind you. And I agree with Noelle. You are like wine (so I hear)...you get better with age. I love the pictures. I'm glad you had a good birthday because you deserved it! I think all of us girls will go in on your next birthday present since we know what your REALLY want. LOL.
Happy late Birthday!!!!! When I turned 26 I told everyone to forget about my birthday because it wasn't a celebration anymore. :) I like your way better though. I have to admit, I listen to z103, but change it more often too because I don't care for some of the songs. I also shop more in the older section of clothes. Their is no way I am ever going to wear the skinny pants. Just the thought makes me think of a carrot and pear combined. Yikes! Anyway, I am glad you had a great birthday. Despite Skye saying you were old. J/K Skye. :)
