This was a week of birthdays, starting with James’ actual birthday on Thursday. He was excited when he woke up and kept trying to convince us that it was time to go downstairs. When we consented he barreled down the stairs and around the corner to open his presents. We had enough time to play with the new toys for a bit before it was time to head out to the aquarium which is what James chose to do for his birthday.
The aquarium itself was a lot of fun for the kids. They were able to watch the fish get fed and got to see the rooms in the back where they incubate the fish and prepare the food. Isla was fascinated by all the fish and kept trying to touch them. We took a break around noon to go eat at the Rainforest Café but they wanted to go back to the aquarium right after. And of course we had to take a train ride and get a cookie, it wouldn’t be a birthday without it for James.
We’ll break here for a quick water balloon fight. Because hey, why not?
James’ birthday party was the following Saturday and he a had a blast. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves, but I do want to say thanks to everyone who made it a great day for James. Oh yeah, Happy Birthday Grandpa too!
Because two birthday celebrations wasn’t enough we to a friend’s birthday party on Sunday at the Little Gym in Southlake. The folks there did a great job at wearing the kids out. We were able to put them to bed a little early this evening to start the post-birthday recovery process.
