Friday morning we got up early and headed to Avalanche Bay, the water park at Boyne Mountain. Dan, Mary, Matt and Gwen went with us, and we were able to meet up with my cousins and their kiddos. We had a great day at the water park. All the boys loved the water slides, lazy river, and the toddler pool activities. We even worked it out so that the moms and dads were all able to ride the big water slides too! As the kiddos started to wind down around nap time, we headed home. Friday afternoon was a lazy one just setting up for the party and visiting the horses down the street.
On Saturday, we had the family over for the party. Not only were mine and Pete's immediate families there, but my Aunt Judy, Uncle Jack, David, Andrea, Dennis, Melissa, and all their kiddos were able to join us! It was crazy having all those kiddos in one room together, but we had a blast! As most of you know, Charlie loves Bob the Builder, so we went with a Bob theme. We played for awhile, opened presents, had dinner, enjoyed some cupcakes, and then wound down before bedtime.
Overall, it was a great weekend! Charlie was fighting a cold, so he was a bit cranky some of the times, but he rallied when we needed him to. We finished off Sunday with donuts at Mark & Kelly's house, then we headed home. A special thank you to my parents for letting us use your house and for helping us throw one amazing Bob party! You guys are the best, and we love you very much! It's definitely a party we, and Charlie, will always remember! Thank you also to my family for driving to four hours to be there to help us celebrate our little man. It was a very bitter sweet day. We miss our friends and family in California terribly, but it's nice to be close to rest of the family again. Thank you everyone for making Charlie's birthday so special!! These past two years have been amazing, and we can't wait to see what the future will bring!!
