Happy 4th Birthday Owen!


Last Saturday, our sweet son, Owen, turned 4! We asked him what he wanted to do last month and instead of having a party, he wanted to go to Sea World! OK! Sounds good to us! We all haven't been to Sea World in quite a few years so we were really excited to go. I checked out the Sea World website and decided that we should go to Breakfast with Shamu! It was such a great decision and I was so glad we did it. We left our house early to make sure we had enough time to get there and park and get through the entrance and have time to head to Shamu Stadium for breakfast. It was actually nice getting there early enough and there not being that many people there, yet. So during breakfast there were two whales that we got to see up close. It was really neat being that close and interacting with the trainers too. The breakfast buffet was great and very filling. We even had chocolate cake after breakfast and they sang to Owen too! It was such a fun day. The kids loved all of the shows and rides and can't wait to go back to see the animals again. A special thank you to my brother and his family for joining us on this special day.

During the month of October, Sea World celebrates Halloween and on the weekends, they have candy stations where the kids can go trick-or-treating. The kids actually brought their costumes and wore them for a little bit, but I didn't snap any pictures of it. Oops!

This was taken at 6:15pm. Owen seemed to still have lots of energy and was pretending to be an airplane flying around:

But just an hour later, he was passed out!

Happy 4th Birthday Owen! We had such a fun day with you and we love you so much!
