Awesome 30

I have been 30 for a while.. I'm half way to 31. This is why I have friends who are still younger than me. It gives us a second (and third) year of parties that makes us feel like we are still 30..

All jokes aside, I am loving 30 so far. I should add that I have never had age hang ups. But while I loved my twenties, looking back I can see that I do (and will) love my thirties even more. Plus I have dealt with more than my share of bad luck from late twenties to 30. So all that is behind me..

This long weekend we had a great, awesome, relaxed and fun 30th of one of my top 2 friends on this planet (and beyond).

I hardly took any photos. So I'll do this post with the four I deem publishable.

Checking out the new car and gadgets while the girls sign cards..

The birthday cake that had more than 30 candles on! (Possibly a 100!)

Awesome speech by the birthday girl. We cheered and cried and cheered.

 

Awesome venue with a view. And puppies.

 

Jumping Surprises

 

We had a surprise birthday tea and cake for the head of the preschool W&K attend (and a friend). It was at our normal stomping ground, so we were at home.

 

Some of the beautiful clouds that rolled in over our neigbourhood nature reserve mid afternoon.

 Jumping with a view of a herd of zebras passing by. Chasing each other.

 Zebras crossing.

 All the kids hunting for tadpoles.

 Caught one!

 Jumping with friends..
