Tater's Birthday (Part 1)

Tater turned 2 on March 19th!  Hard to believe that he's growing up so quickly.

We decided against having a big party, but invited a few close friends and family over to celebrate our little guy's big day with his favorite food.  Yep, you guessed it.  PANCAKES!

He eagerly watched out the window to see when they would arrive.
We sat on the back porch for a little while, relaxing with our birthday boy. 





After a quick change of clothes because we were super dirty, Tater's Gramma and Papa arrived.  They brought his present with them, his very own bike.  He immediately jumped on his new Thomas the train bike and rode it all over the sidewalk and yard.  His legs are still a little short for the pedals, but he didn't care. 







He quickly discovered that driving off the dirt was loads of fun. 














Birthday Weekend

Last year, we took Tater to Disney for his birthday and this year, taking him to an amusement park for his birthday weekend sounded like a perfect idea. The amusement park here isn't open year around, but it just happened to be open for pass holders on the Saturday before his birthday.  Perfect timing!!!

Can you see his huge smile in this picture?  He loved riding this horse ride. 






Dave and Tater waited in line to ride a boat ride for kids. 





Another ride that Tater loves: the swings!!!







He kept pointing at the big swings and asking to go on those.  Maybe someday, little guy!

He rode this balloon ride for the first time and loved it, too. 










We had to leave around lunchtime since Dave had to go to work, but we had a great morning and can't wait to go back more this spring and summer.
