off for a special bday day with Grandma at the butterfly exhibit!

they liked the smell of her hair detangler

She had a Brilliant time!! And a nice hot dog lunch afterwards - her favorite :)

They popped by dairy queen to pick out a cake too. She instructed the lady in the design she wanted - purple edges with a lovely rainbow & a butterfly. We skyped with Dadda to sing Happy Birthday and cut the cake, So exciting to share with Dadda that we forgot to take pictures opps! It was gorgeous and delicious though!!
