Megan is 3!

Our cute little Megan turned 3 on March 16th. She is a very determined girl. Somehow she got into her head that she was already 4 years old. I spent a lot of time and finally convinced her about a week before that on her birthday she would be turning 3! Fortunately, if you ask her now, she gives you the right number.

A month ago, on Blake's birthday, we learned that Krispy Kreme gives you a free dozen glazed donuts on your birthday. Combining that with a dozen from Amy's amazing contest win, we had a very sweet breakfast. Chris let Megan pick out one donut just for her since she likes the chocolate ones best.

We wanted to do something different for Megan's birthday than just play at a park or something like that. At Christmastime, Chris and the boys got to pick out sets of left-over golf clubs from Grandpa Long's reunions. They try to go out with Scott once a month on a Saturday. Because of that, the kids have started wanting to go with and play golf too. So, Chris came up with the idea to go to Golfland, a miniature golf + other stuff amusement park he went to as an Arizona boy. We decided to invite the whole crowd (Uncle Chase and Aunt Kaley, Uncle Scott and Aunt Amy, and all the Arizona cousins). It was the first day of the cousins' Spring Break, so it was a perfect time to go.

Megan was the princess of the day, of course, so she wore a "Happy Birthday" tiara all day long. Chris' mom offered to watch Adam while we went, so that made the outing a lot easier, though it was still plenty crazy. We got to Golfland pretty close to opening, and started our adventure. (One funny note is that because Megan is only 3, she golfs for free!) We chose the Lost Dutchman course and kinda let the kids go as fast or as slow as they wanted too. It wasn't too busy that we felt rushed by anyone, so that was nice too. There were a few lost balls, possibly because some of the kids have been learning to golf on Amy and Scott's Wii, so their practical skills aren't too honed yet. But everyone had a great time, especially Megan, which is what mattered.

We hit the nearby McD's for lunch, and then it was home for a little relaxing afternoon and get ready for cake and ice cream with the whole Partridge family. I made another little slideshow of some of my favorite pictures from the day. Enjoy!
