David's BIG day

Not only is today David's 5th birthday - he graduated from Pre-School too! We are all SUPER excited.

The ceremony started at 9 am with the kids singing their tiny hearts out. About 30 minutes later the diplomas were handed out. The girls first and then the boys. David was the 1st boy to get his - so cute. I was so very proud if him. Steve missed it because Ava was flipping out and he took her into the hall. Afterward, there was cookies and juice and lots of good byes. I can't believe he is ready for Kindergarten.

From school we drove to Great Adventure. We have been taking David to Great Adventure on his birthday since he turned 3. This was going to be Ava's 1st time. We started in the Safari. The kids LOVED this. Not only did they think the animals were super cool they got to sit in the front seat! Next we went into the park. We grabbed a bite to eat after Steve and the kids came off the ferris wheel. After lunch David went on a few rides. There was not much Ava could do, but I was able to get her on a ride when Steve took David on the rapids. Then we went to the kids water area. This is where David wanted to be. He had a blast in one of his new bathing suits and surf shirts. Ava was playing in there too, but all she did was go up and down the stairs. She was barely wet. David was soaked. We had to drag the kids out of there to get to go on some other rides. There were 2 more rides Ava could do - she loved it. David did a few more things like the tea cups and the parachutes and then we called it a day.

On our way home both kids were snoring in the back seat. We were almost home and Steve and I decided to take them to Outback for dinner. David loves their wings and it's a nice place to celebrate a birthday. We had a great time. The food was really good and so were the kids. Their favorite part was the sundae at the end.
Happy Birthday David and Congratulations! We love you.
