Last Tuesday marked the beginning of Birthday Season at the Harkner House. Logan turned 9 on June 16th and we had a fun (long) day. It all started with a discovery in the driveway.

We then got started on our Birthday Adventure. We went to McDonalds to play in the play area and then from there we went to the Rain Forest Cafe. For those of you who don't know what that is, it is an amazing restaurant that is decorated like a rain forest. There are animatronic animals there and every 15 minutes there is a simulated storm where the lights dim and lightening and thunder light up the 'sky'. Adrienne was not any part of it at first, but when she realized that it was all pretend, then she totally got into it. Lanie was the one I was worried about but she could care less!

I ordered the kids a special treat after lunch. It was a "mud pie" with worms! Okay, so it was chocolate pudding, Oreo crumbs and gummy worms, but it still looked gross!

I would like to say this was the first time that Lanie ate 'dirt' but sadly I cannot. I however do think this was the first time she ate a worm. 'Think' is the operative word.
