Eli and Maddie's birthday looked a little different this year. We were in the midst of moving, and we were literally on the road to Virginia on their actual birthday. So we merged their love for Mickey and Minnie with our road trip adventure :)
We took a break from our road trip travels, and we stayed at the Wandering Goat Lodge in Blacksburg. So we were able to rest after two long days of travel, but we were also able to celebrate Eli and Maddie's birthday! This was not my most Pinterest-y birthday haha, but they didn't seem to mind at all. They were happy to go on walks exploring the property, watch the deer, and yes... feed the goats :)
Maddie dove right in, ready to feed the goats! Turns out, we have a little animal lover on our hands :) Eli and Aiden were a little more hesitant, but eventually warmed up to the goats. Aiden fed them once and that was all he needed. He was not at all interested after that. Eli fed them a few more times, but he was way more interested in the GIGANTIC leaves that he could find and pick up.
Future vet??
Greedy little goat
Not that impressed with the goat haha
And of course, no birthday celebration would be complete without presents and birthday songs. Mommy and Daddy stayed on theme with all things Mickey and Minnie {games, coloring books, shirts, etc.}. Grandma and Papa provided the fun stuff: books, Mickey and Minnie clothes, Picasso Tiles.
"Happy Birthday" from our cousins!
While we didn't get to have a traditional party, I think Eli and Maddie's birthday turned out pretty well. I think Mickey, Minnie, and goats were the perfect way to celebrate a fourth birthday that landed right in the middle of our family's cross-country move. It's definitely one for the memory books :)
