What a Great B-day, Fun was had by All!

We started our day at home, Logan opened some gifts, he is so funny he opened some puzzles and he said "oh, just what I needed". We got him the Candy Land Castle and he seems to really like that to, he knew exactly what it was when he opened it, darn commercials. We got him a kids digital camera and some rain boots that we are giving him at his party tomorrow. I think he will love the boots and is going to want to go stomp in some puddles right away : ) I know he is going to LOVE the camera, he really likes to take pictures and I really don't let him play w/my camera. We had lunch at home and then we left around nap time. Logan only slept for about an hour but that was enough.

We headed off to Zehnder's Splash Village in Frankenmuth, MI. what a great place. I highly recommend taking your kids here if they are over 2 1/2 to 3 years old. I think if you want to go somewhere with a child under 2 1/2 to go the the Bavarian Inn just down the street. Logan LOVED it, we played, played and played some more. We got there around 3:00 went to the arcade at the Bavarian Inn, played games, Putt-putt and then got dinner. We got back to the room around 6:30 and we went to the water park. It was a little cold but that didn't stop Logan. We called it a night around 8:00 and went back to our room. Of course we went back to the water park in the morning before we headed home and played for about an hour. We had such a great time, two thumbs up to Zehnder's we will definitely go back.

I am not sure what Logan liked the best. He loved walking in the Lazy River, it came up to his chest and he thought he was the coolest thing ever walking all by himself in the water. He wanted to go down one of the big slides so Jeff took him, they came out of that tube like a rocket and flipped right over. Logan did not like it and neither did Jeff he said it was really hard to hold onto Logan. I am proud of Logan that he even wanted to try, I didn't even go down one. He was fine but he definitely was not going to try it again. He liked the Hot tub also but you know you can only stay in a few minutes, he really enjoyed the giant bucket that fills up and tips water out, I think it hold like 500 gallons and this cow bell goes off to warn you it's happening. Every time Logan heard it he wanted to go get under it so he would get splashed, he and Daddy really enjoyed that, I stayed away ;)

Happy Birthday Jeff!

Happy Birthday Jeff, I hope you enjoyed your day! Logan and I baked Jeff a cake this morning and then we frosted it when he got up from his nap (daddy also took a nap). After we frosted it he ran and woke Jeff up, he couldn't wait to sing Happy B-day. It was so cute, he was SO EXCITED. Jeff could have stayed sleeping but he was a good sport and got up.


We laid pretty low today, I told Jeff what ever he wanted to do was fine. He hunted this morning, took a nap when he got home. We were going to go out to dinner but we were all full from the cake so Jeff went and got a carry out a bit later than we normally eat. Logan was bouncing off the walls, he had a major sugar overload from cream cheese frosting from Jeff's cake so we really did not want to take him out either : )

I had a pumpkin walnut bread/muffin mix from Tastefully Simple so that is what we made and I am glad I did, you have to try one of these, yummy! I made the bread cut it in half after it cooled, frosted the center, put it back together and then frosted the whole thing. I don't even want to think about the calories and fat in that one piece, LOL but it was so good, we all enjoyed it.
