Turning 29

I turned 29 last week.

For my birthday, I just wanted to hang out with my family.

I took the kids to the zoo during the day with my sister-in-law and mother-in-law.  It was fun to see Pearl identify the animals and make their sounds.  I really thought the elephants were going to be her favorite.  She did enjoy them, but she was surprisingly most excited by the turtles.

We went out to a delicious dinner and had ice cream at Salt & Straw afterward.  This birthday was great!  It's been a while since I have spent that much time outside of the house in one day and it felt wonderful.  I need to figure out how to do that more often, but it still feels hard with two kids by myself.  I'm sure I will figure it out eventually.

I can't believe this is the last year of my 20's.  I still don't feel like an adult.  Maybe that feeling will magically happen next year at 30.
