Rylan is 2!

I cannot believe it has been 2 years since the blessing of our first little man, Rylan.  We had a blast celebrating his birthday this year, a couple different times actually.  On his actual birthday we were up at the cottage in Crivitz and decided to do something special.  We went to Marinette where we had breakfast where Rylan could watch the ships go by the marina, then walked around the marina and breakwall to see all the boats and birds. :) Then we went over to a wildlife zoo/park just over the boarder in Michigan.  It was HUGE and kind of creepy how in the middle of nowhere it was and sometimes how under fenced it seemed to be :/  But Rylan had an amazing day from the Mickey Mouse shaped chocolate chip pancakes at breakfast to the real live (and up close) lions, tigers, bears, hippos, and more at the zoo.  We ended the day with a Mickey Mouse cake at the cottage which is shared with his cousins, they all had fun digging into it with their faces and fingers.

The weekend after the we got home from the cottage we had Rylan's birthday party.  It was a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse birthday party.  Rylan had a blast with all of his cousins and a couple friends as they played in the giant bounce house and the sprinkler and of course took swings at the pinta.
