Every year it has become a tradition for us to go on a short trip the weekend of Matt's birthday. We started this our first year of marriage and are still doing it 8 years later. This year was no different. We decided to go to Birmingham to eat, shop, go to the zoo, and the movies. The kids were especially excited about going to the zoo at night to see the lights. There were over 1/2 a million lights and even fake snow. We ate supper at Macaroni Grill and the kids LOVED it. They were so good and even ate their supper. Molly Katherine had vanilla ice cream with fudge sauce for desert and Matt and I shared Wes'. He was more interested in his macaroni and cheese. After supper we went to the zoo and had a blast. Molly Kat said her favorite part was going to the barn and petting the animals. Wes loved the train ride and the carousel. He rode it 3 times! Saturday morning we had a leisurely breakfast at the hotel and then went to the Summit for shopping. We ate lunch at Johnny Rockets and then went to the movies to see "Bolt" in 3D. It was a little scary but MK sat through the entire thing. Wes and Matt ended up hanging out in the lobby of the theater eating popcorn and drinking coke. Wes only watched about 30 minutes of the movie before he got restless. After that we headed back to Meridian. The kids slept the entire car ride. They were worn out from their weekend of fun.
