Happy Birthday!

It's Garry's birthday!!! Today he is 12 years old. He's already been up this morning, and I fed him breakfast in bed (he's always after me to do that!) so it was Capt Crunch cereal on the bed table for him. He's back in bed now, waiting for dad to get up so he can open his presents. A special thanks goes out to Jim for his love of toys...please watch what you buy in the future, will ya?!? Thank goodness the "toy" writing pen that records what one writes and passes it on to one's computer that Uncle Jim showed off this past time DID have a kids ( -less expensive) model. And of course my gadget happy son would want one. Garry is now the proud owner of a FlyPen.
We went Sunday to Aquatica for the afternoon. Him and Dad rode the big rides, and me and the little ones played in the kids zone. We also spent a good hour in the Roa Rapids, a faster moving lazy river, life jackets, no floats. Aidan was fine until water showered us in the face (about every 5 min of the ride). We had a great time, except that mom(ME) forgot to reapply the sunblock after lunch and we all came home a little sunburned:(
Today we are having his favorite meal of meatloaf, sweet potatoes and cornbread. Then comes the cake (chocolate, of course!) and icecream. We'll probably play some Wii--thanks to the Holcomb group, we now have several new games to play.
If you get a chance, drop a comment to Garry. He'll get a kick out of it--oh, yeah. Happy St. Paddy's Day!
On the way to Aquatica!
