My Birthday Celebration!

It was a great birthday this year. It started with Mike getting up with the boys while I slept in until 9am! It was such a nice start to the day. We had lunch and then birthday cake before heading out to the water park.

Seven Peaks Water Park

Austin loved the water and was fascinated by the bubbles.

Dylan had a great time. However, he is more timid when it comes to water. He also seems to shiver constantly no matter what the water temp. It was a very hot day and the water was at least 80+ degrees and he still shivered! After only 30 minutes he took off his swim suit to get dry! Of course, he wanted right back in the water 10 minutes later. He also had a scare when he rode down the kiddie slide and briefly went under the 24 inches of water at the bottom. No more water slides after that!

Mike was the adventurer and braved the steepest slide. We had fun watching from a safe distance.

Unfortunately, I parked Austin a little too close and as you can see he was splashed pretty good by the slide. I didn't realize there was so much spray at the bottom! As usual, our little trooper took it in stride and never even fussed.

Here is Mike again. The big slides are thrilling, but they caused pain in his back. I don't think he will try this again until Dylan and Austin can go!

Dylan Says, "Happy Birthday Mommy!"

This is a short video testing out my new digital camcorder. Dylan is the star of the show. It was pretty late when we decided to test it so Austin was already in bed. Look for more videos now that I have a more user friendly camcorder!
