Birthday for Mack Today

The first day of summer vacation is here!  I was very relieved to leave school yesterday with several bags and projects in mind to get to over the summer.  Now my time is here.  I hope to do quite a bit of sewing, organizing, reading, crafting, hanging with some friends, walking, and best of all grandmothering. 
Today we got up at the normal time.  We needed to be in TX by 10:30 for Mack's 4th birthday party.  We made it to the Pumpkin Patch Farm just in time.  The kids were feeding Texas longhorns, goats, and sheep.  The kids found a litter of kittens and they were mauled.  The birthday boy became fond of one and named it Marshmallows.  I asked him if it was because the kitten was soft and he looked at me kind of funny and said no it was because he was white.  Okay!  Set me straight.
Then they went on a hayride, which was pretty long.  Then we ate.  Everyone helped themselves to pbj's, chips, apples, and cookies.  Then Mack opened some presents.  This went on for a while......
Sara, his Mom, provided straw hats and bandannas to add to the farm theme.  Boys got mustaches and girls got cloth roses.  Great birthday for Mack.  Happy Birthday.

We stopped by Cheddar's on the way home for dinner.  Can you say the best onion rings!  Oh boy did we enjoy them!  Now we are home and I am fighting sleep and Ken is watching a couple of channels.
