Terrific Twos!

Yesterday was Avery's 2nd Birthday!  Wow!  We can't believe its been two years since his birthday.  We tried to let Avery decide what to do for the day.  It was rainy outside and he wanted to go for a walk, so we went for a short walk in the rain.  Later, after the rain was gone, Avery's cousins Boyce & Eve and their parents Mark & Sarah came down to go to lunch together.  Guess where we went?  To McDonald's.  It was Avery's 1st experience on the play toys there.  He really liked to go on it, but to get to the very top level you had to climb a big step and Avery was a little too short for it, so either Brian, Mark, or Sarah had to climb all the way up there to help him out.  Avery still had a blast though.  Then we went over to Fred Meyer's to look at some toys, and Avery found one that he just HAD to have (a helicopter) and Mark & Sarah got it for him (THANKS A BUNCH AGAIN).  He absolutely loved that thing.  Later, we went to dinner with Amanda's family because it is also Grandpa Downs' birthday too!  Him & Avery are 50 years apart!  We then came home to open more presents and eat a sweet carrot-cake Truck.  Avery loved all his presents- which were mostly cars and trucks.

If you can't tell, Avery is saying "Truck" because he opened some "Cars" pajamas.
