My sweet little boy is now 4 years old. I can't believe it! Since he isn't in school yet and he isn't that much into parties, we had a quiet little birthday celebration for him this year. He has been really into dinosaurs this year (his favorite being the brachiosaurus) and has also been obsessed with giraffes. I think he is fascinated by both of their long necks. So for his special day I worked it out so that we could get some free tickets for the Atlanta Zoo. We hadn't been to the zoo as a family and I think I may had been the most excited to go! Luckily Ben's parents were in town to share the experience with us and make the day even more special. We spent the night before at Peachtree City with Grandma/Grandpa Johanson and then all had breakfast together before the zoo. It was great for the kids to see all the different animals. We all loved seeing the gorillas, the warthog (just like Pumba from Lion King), the elephant and of course the giraffes! It was a warm day but not too unbearable. In fact, it started pouring about 30 minutes after we left. Matthew got a little worn out towards the end and a little impatient looking at some of the exhibits but I am pretty sure he had a good time. And of course we had to have a birthday cake! I made a green dinosaur just for my little man. It wasn't my best work but it still tasted great.
Happy Birthday Matthew Lowell Jett!!
