Justin's Birthday

Justin turned the big 28 on July 6th!  Man he is getting old.  I can't believe that he is two years away from being 30!  That makes me feel so old.  The girls loved giving Justin his birthday presents...well, they loved opening Justin's birthday presents!

 

 Lydia wanted to unwrap everything and Brooke wanted to play with the wrapping paper.

 Lydia gives the best "big hugs" as she calls them.

 Justin was nice enough to share one of his little candy bars with Lydia.  I think that is one of the reasons she was so excited to open the gifts is because she remembered we wrapped the candy bars.

 Brooke loves to crinkle the wrapping paper, but then she tries to eat it.

 Lydia, Brooke, and I went and got cupcakes and balloons and took them to work for Justin.  Once we got to his office Lydia was insistent that she got to eat one of the cupcakes.  She had it all over her face.  I am sad I didn't get a picture.  We also took Justin to lunch at In and Out Burger.  He really likes that place.  After work we took Justin to Boondocks.  On your birthday you get a free pass so he got that and then we just bought a few individual tickets for Lydia to ride with him on the Bumper Boats. 

 Lydia liked climbing on the bars while she was waiting in line!

 

 Brooke wanted her stroller close to the bars so she could play too.  She doesn't want to miss out on anything!

 

 

I thought Lydia might be a little hesitant about being on the bumper boats, but she wasn't at all.  She isn't afraid of anything.  She loved helping steer and also squirting people.  It was fun watching her facial expressions when people squirt her too.

Justin was also able to do the little race track thing.  Lydia was too short to ride with him and she didn't understand why she had to wait.  She kept saying, "me turn car" and would take off to where Justin had stood in line.

We were also able to play some arcade games because the pass came with 20 tokens.  Both Lydia and Brooke had fun wandering from thing to thing.

Brooke thinks that she is just as big as Lydia and you can't leave her out or else she starts to get mad.

After the arcades Justin and Lydia did the bumper boats again.  Brooke had to stay with me so I let her have a sucker.  She was so sticky by the time she was done (or when I took it away).

Lydia came back from the last bumper boat ride soaking wet!  She loved it!

When we got home we gave Justin his birthday cake.  We lit the candles for him and sang to him and then he blew the candles out.  Justin's family sings the song and then lights the candles....so anti-climatic.

Lydia had to help him blow the candles out.

Lydia wasn't quite as patient and ended up sticking her fingers into the frosting.

It was so much fun celebrating Justin's birthday with him!!  He is such a great guy and we love him so much!!
