Papa's Birthday - March 18th

A very Happy Birthday to Gary, a.k.a. Papa.We celebrated over a few different days because Gary was traveling and arrived home late in the evening on his birthday. My parents were in town to see Mary Poppins at the Beull theatre. It was the best show we have seen in a while. Disney had thrown some serious money at this stage production and it really showed. It was beautiful and fun. It had just the right combination of favorite moments from the film mixed with new scenes based on the original stories. The songs were familiar but altered from the movie just enough that I had to bring home the soundtrack and learn some new lyrics to "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious". I can't wait to see Jace dance around the living room to "Step in Time".
Before the show we took Jace on a long walk near Palmer's house. It is so nice to have some warm days and get him outside. He picked dried flowers, said Hi to the horses, rode on Grandad's shoulders (more than in the stroller), and got as close as he could to every bit of water that he saw. This picture was taken a second after Jace threw the flower he was carrying into the stream. He immediately regretted the action (tears). We had a laugh about it and found him a new flower a few minutes later.
