July 1st...Daddy's Birthday. The other night we headed out west to the Davis Farmer's Market. Mason and Daddy took the lead as we walked over to meet up with friends, have dinner, listen to the band, and play.
Mason spotted the balloon animal lady despite my attempts to cruise on by. I have to admit I was impressed with what he ended up with. He was dying to have a sawfish like we saw at the aquarium last weekend. This request really put her to the test. She didn't really understand what he wanted at first, but gave it a whirl. He ended up with this fierce mask.
He got many looks and compliments throughout the park. Later in the evening he and another boy met up face to face, shark to shark. It was hilarious. Mason made friends with him and his family and played a bit before heading to the ice cream booth. 
Ellie was content ordering up, of course, a doggie even though the balloon lady tried to convince her to choose something more challenging commenting on how "Dogs are the first thing you learn at clown college." Ellie will not be swayed by ridiculous statements such as these and demanded a purple doggie which she could wear as a bracelet. She snuggled him and loved him throughout the evening even as he popped in parts and transformed into some sort of triangular character.
While eating our tasty treat Mason decided that his saw-shark was missing the saw and had to revisit the artist for its completion.
to this...AAAAHHHHHHH! A Sawfish, stab you in the eye reenactment.
Notice the similarities?
Before leaving town we made a pit stop at Borders where Mason spotted a Cars LEGO set on our way to the restroom. We talked about how Daddy's birthday was coming up and maybe we could go to the LEGO Store for his birthday.
Mason: "Mommy we are going to have to make a lot of cake then because if we have his birthday at the LEGO Store everyone there is going to want to eat the cake."
That's my little Saw Shark...always thinking.
