Thumb Birthday!

Well it happened the big FIVE! For the longest time he has been referring to his fifth birthday as the thumb birthday. He comes up with some of the funniest things. So we were all very excited to celebrate this day with him. He figured since he had a big party last year he would get another big party this year. First of all there is an error in his thinking he will get a party every year, and secondly there is the problem that we moved to San Antonio and he doesn't know anyone to invite to a party. So in order to make the day special we decided to go to . . . SEA WORLD!!!

We started the day by having brunch with Count Von Count and Elmo and the whole Seasame Street gang.

We even got to spend the day with Grandma and Grandpa.

Brunch was incredible. Not only was the food good, but the company was even better and Hayden was over the top seeing everyone. He even got to count to five with the Count because it was his fifth birthday.

He got to feed the dolphines and the sea lions.

Hang out with Shamu.

And ride the rides. The weather was perfect and there were hardly any lines. We got to ride the Journey to Atlantis ride three or four times in a row with barley a wait. Perfect time of the year to go.

Hayden got to ride up and down with a bunch of squealing girls over and over again.

And lucky me, I got to ride the Shamu Kiddie Coaster again and again and again because there was no line.

Hayden even got to take on the pirates. Apparently he lost.

All in all it was an incredible day. We may have to make it an annual event.

Despite all the fun we had at Sea World the best part for Hayden was the bike he got from Grandma and Grandpa Verniuew. He got to pick it out himself and he rode it all over the Wal-Mart on the way to the checkout counter.
