Six Flags Discovery Kingdom

I found that while I was thinking of things we could do for Lily's 5th birthday I was putting undo pressure on myself.

5 for me is a big deal.

For me it is the loss of my only baby.

I felt as if it should be extra special cause she is now officially a kid and not a tot.

How would I top last years party.

What, oh what, could I do.

Seriously, people, I was loosing sleep.

None of this had anything to do with the actual birthday girl.

It was all about me.
So I decided to scrap the party all together.

And make the day less about me

and more about her.

We got to the park a little early and had a little roadside picnic.

We ate sandwiches and Cheetos

(a request from a certain birthday girl they are also what she'd prefer for her birthday dinner)

and opened a few gifts.

The park has a bit of a spooky theme this time of year.

Blood red fountains, skeletons, and webs aplenty

not a one scared my big girl.

But, the looney toons folks they are terrifying.

We headed straight to......





This girl could not contain her excitement!!!

Harrold took Ava and I on a tour of sodor.

So like I said before folks this is not even kinda scary.

But..........

these guys are so scary we had to promptly go to a different area of the park.

This baby dolphin was so very curious.

I think this bird wanted to attack Nonnie and Ava.

And what would the day be without a little of this.

Two of the cutest profiles in town.

This is my baby. She's still 4 for 2 more days. Oh how I love her to the moon and back again to infinity.

Oh it must be stated that I have one very happy husband cause the giants just won the pennant so I have been told to give a very big wahoo!!!!!
