Well, she made it!  40!  And she’s still kickin’ butt and taking names.  The kids and I put together a ‘beautiful’ cake in her honor the night before the actual day.  Let’s just say it tasted better than it looked. 🙂

Her actual birthday was a busy one!  We started out with a nice breakfast outside on what turned out to be a beautiful day.

Breakfast was followed by an impromptu dance performance by Ryley, just for the birthday girl.

Then off towards Dockyard we go!  We stopped on the way to do a little mountain biking on the local ‘pump track’, the kids always have fun while there.

 

 

Into Dockyard we went afterwards, for a chilled out lunch at the Bonefish Grille.

Then over we went to Dolphin Quest where Jenn and the kids went for a dip with the dolphins!

 

 

 

One last stop on this busy day (whew!) – the Matthews invited us over for dinner (and cake!) in Jenn’s honor… it was delicious!  (Have to say I got off easy, many thanks owed to Kandis and Joel…)

 

Of course, the piece de resistance – chocolate cake!

Happy 40th, honey!  We love you!
