Happy Birthday to Zachy!

Yesterday was Zach's 3rd Birthday! (and yes, I was hoping to post this yesterday but the computer was not willing to work with me!)

We decided we'd go to Kings Dominion for his birthday and had oodles of fun. Aunt Celia was able to go with us and that made it even better!

The boys and Daniel went up to the top of the Eiffel Tower..and then called me because they wanted to see me.

They're in the far top right. Look closely!!!

We rode Taxi Jam which is like the "rollercoaster" for little guys. It was Zach's first rollercoaster and he loved it. Aunt Celia rode it with Jacob while I sat next to Zach (Jake could've rode by himself but whats the fun in that? Zach was right at the height that still needed someone to ride with him.).

 I attempted to take a video while we were riding...

After that, Daniel took Jacob on Ghoster Coaster (formerly the Scooby Doo coaster). Zach was 4 inches too short for it. Jake rode it last year with Uncle Marc and was scared out of his mind. I think he enjoyed it this time but you wouldn't know it by the look on his face!

Daniel told him all the brave kids hold their arms up...so he did!

Zach rode the hot rod cars while Jake was on the coaster...

and then the monster trucks (though he was ready to get out of them quite quickly).

 They rode this flying plane thing that went way up using their controls...

Then we headed to the waterpark! Obviously I didn't take many pictures by the water. The boys had a lot of fun splashing around. Jacob and Daniel went down a big water slide in a raft while Celia and I had Zach in "Lil' Barefoot Beach." We headed over to the wave pool after that and it made one big wave while we were there and then broke. There was still water and fountains that the boys enjoyed playing in for a LONG time!

 Jake was really tired after this and wanted to sit and snuggle for a little bit.

We did a few more rides and then Zach fell asleep!

Celia and I took Jake to do a few more things while Zach snoozed and then it was just after 4 and the boys were worn out!

The clouds moving over us were also looking pretty stormy so it was definitely a good time to go!
Even though we had already celebrated Zach's birthday we still needed to have cake and candles...we picked up some tasty cupcakes and headed back to mom and dad's house for the night. Zach enjoyed blowing out his 3 candles on his cupcake...

here's to a great 3rd year for my little man!
