Ethan Turns Four!

Well, the big day finally came and Ethan turned four. He woke up to his bedroom decorated with streamers and got to open a few presents when he came downstairs, including a giant dinosaur collection from Mom and Dad and a remote control dinosaur from our neighbors, the Ridlehoovers.



Then Dad took him to get doughnuts for breakfast.

Then we loaded up the van and drove to the Dells for the long awaited and much-anticipated waterpark birthday celebration.

We stopped for lunch at McDonalds along the way and Ethan posed with Ronald. He really looks like John when he was a little boy in this picture.

Mary Kate took her afternoon nap in the van during the second leg of the trip. We tried to prop up her head, but the little blanket just kept falling out of her carseat.

Ethan got to decorate his birthday cake and chose a Diego Animal Rescue theme. Here he is decorating. Every square inch was covered by the time he finished.

Mary Kate really enjoyed the cake. Somehow we forgot to get a bib on her before she dove in.
