After opening Anna's presents we headed off to Solvang for the day. We had never been there so we were excited for something new to do. It is a cute Danish Village with fun little shops and bakeries. It is geared a little more for an older crowd but the kids still had fun.
We got some really good hot chocolate and pastries here. The havarti cheese was amazing. I am a HUGE fan of havarti cheese. I love all cheese but it is pretty much my favorite.
We rode a surrey around town and got a good workout. Anna was hoping she would be big enough to pedal but she was not quite there. Maybe next year??? Mac wore his helmet practically the whole day. I can barely get him to wear his helmet EVER at home so I was completely shocked he wore it around Solvang the whole day!
We ate lunch at Tower Pizza per Anna's request.
We found this super cute park to play at on our way out of town. They had fun slides and swings.
After we got home from Solvang the Barlows came over and we had cake and ice cream. Anna has been wanting a panda bear cake for awhile. She got a new sleeping bad from Grandma and Grandpa Barlow. She also asked Alisa for cash instead of a check this year. Because when she gets a check her parents just put it in her bank account and she never sees it! Corrine gave her a new blanket.
It was dark when we got home from Solvang but McKay went with her around the neighborhood on her new rollerblades. Overall #9 was a great birthday!
