Happy Birthday Matthew!

Saturday we celebrated Matthew's birthday! Since he is still young,  I can tell you that we celebrated his 30th birthday, but after this you are on your own. If you want to know how old Matt in the future, start keeping track now.

Our birthday celebrations started with a bike ride to the Farmer's Market where we bought peaches and pastries.

Then we rode our bikes to the Botanical Gardens to enjoy a Japanese Festival. We watched a karate demonstration, walked through the tea gardens, and colored an origami hat.

After wandering through the gardens we stopped at our favorite sandwich shop for lunch and went birthday shopping. Matt decided that he would like me to give him a new bike helmet for his birthday so we stopped by our local bike shop. We got a new helmet for Howie, too.

A helmet is a gift that says you want to live to see another birthday. If the helmet has a large, green, glow in the dark brain on it, it is also a gift that says you are stylish.

We wrapped up the day with cupcakes--lots of cupcakes! Happy birthday, Matt! I sure do love you!
