Travis turned the big 30 on the 20th! He says that he feels old and although I am three years younger than him it makes me feel old too! I made him a hamburger cake and sugar cookie french fries with frosting fry sauce! (I got the idea from
here) We had the cake and Ice cream on Sunday.

On his actual birthday, Tuesday, we went to the zoo and then on a picnic. we had a great time with just our little family.

When we got home from the picnic there was a package on the door from Ireland with a card, some money and the hat that he is wearing it says "Guinness Extra Stout" "traditionally brewed, St. James Gate Dublin" I can just see my parents buying it, my mom laughing and saying "lets get this one for Travis" and my dad saying, " ahhppmm (if you know my dad you know what sound I am talking about) Karen! that is an advertisement for beer!" hahaha!
