Nine-tastic Rebekah

Sharing is caring!

Rebekah turned 9 years old this week!  I’m not sure when I blinked and my tiny thumb-sucking toddler turned into this tender-hearted girl.

She's 9

For her birthday outing, the kids and I spent the day at the Charlotte Nature Museum.  I packed 6 kids and 4 cameras into the car for the day.  I took photos of the kids, and the kids took photos of all the animals and butterflies.  We were quite comical- this pack of kids taking nearly identical photos of every single animal they passed while their crazy Momma took photos of them taking photos while also holding a baby, chasing a toddler, and pushing a stroller piled with multiple camera bags, a diaper bag and a million coats.

I definitely counted attendance for school that day even though it was a birthday celebration.  The big kids learned so much- the amazing employees at the museum let the kids help feed many of the animals and personally taught them all kinds of facts about each one.  Peyton got a bit bored with all the learning and note-taking.  Later the big kids spent the afternoon pouring through our animal encyclopedias gathering more info about their favorite animals.
