This is the last of the photos, I swear, but I couldn't leave out the the highlight of the whole trip for the girls: Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. Just outside of the tiny town of Kenab, Utah this sanctuary is like nothing you've ever seen. Inhabiting its own beautiful canyon, the 3,000 acres is home to over 1,700 animals, all rescues. We had planned only one day of volunteering, but the girls couldn't get enough (and they were only old enough to help in Cat World, you have to be ten to move on up to Dog Town!) so we stretched the schedule to accommodate another day of helping. Because one really can't get enough time to stroller cats, walk them on leashes and entertain them with endless cat toys (all in the name of socializing of course). It's really an incredible place, we'll be back one day I'm sure.
And then last weekend it was another birthday celebration. We spent a night in Madison where the girls and I went with friends to see the Lion King at the Overture Center (totally amazing, I think there are still tickets!) Then my birthday morning request of a tour of Olbrich Botanical Gardens (also incredible!) and then home to a cake with not quite enough room for 44 candles. But still, it was all sweetness. I am so blessed.
