Can you tell me how to get...


to Garett's 3rd birthday party?
Daddy gets a quick snuggle from Garett before our friends arrived at Sesquicentennial State Park for a morning of play and birthday fun.
Welcome to Garett Street! Oscar the Grouch brought horns to share with Garett's friends.
In honor of his best friend Dorothy, Elmo brought Goldfish crackers to share.
Big Bird contributed some yummy cracked corn for the geese.
And, of course, what else would Cookie Monster bring to the party but chocolate chip cookies!
Books from Garett's Mommy and Daddy for Garett's friends.
Nolan, Henry, Thomas, Garett, AJ and Elizabeth chow down on veggies and pizza, then dive into cupcakes of their favorite Sesame Street monster choosing.Happy birthday to you, Garett. You make our world a much, much happier place.
Wow, I think the horns were second only to the cupcakes as far as the kids were concerned. We, along with every person within a mile of the park, endured an ear-splitting cacophony when they discovered these horns. They had fun though, and oddly enough those pesky horns had magically disappeared by the time the kids returned from feeding the geese at the lake.
Time for a goose feeding frenzy (and a few brave little ducks too). It was a honking good time! Thanks to everyone for braving the humid weather to join us in celebrating Garett's 3rd birthday. It was great to get home for a bit and reconnect, especially for Garett - I nearly cried seeing how his face lit up when his old buddies arrived.
