Tomorrow morning, bright and early, John turns 4. He is so excited. He understands what a birthday is, and that he gets presents, and that he’s a year older. He actually KNOWS that his birthday is August 26th.
We made cupcakes for him to take to daycare to celebrate. After he went to bed, David and I iced them and then decorated them with a ‘J’ or a ‘4′. I can’t wait for him to see these little cupcakes!
This past Saturday, we went to Silverwood Theme Park, which is located just outside Athol. John has been eagerly awaiting our visit as there is an authentic steam engine that you can ride. The train travels around the perimeter of the park and even gets ‘robbed’ by bandits.
John really enjoyed all the rides that he was able to go on. He loved the airplanes and helicopters the best.
We drove some antique cars, rode the merry-go-round and went on a huge ferris wheel.
Twice we went on a ‘log’ ride which ended by climbing a steep hill and then plummeting into a bay of water. We got soaking wet. It was great fun for all of us. I am sure this will be an annual event for us. John is already looking forward to NEXT year when he will be tall enough to ride the roller coaster. Let me tell you, this boy has NO fear!
