Happy Birthday Dad!

We spent our Saturday celebrating my dad's birthday!  We had a great morning at Ashley's baptism and then headed to Salt Lake.  We first went to the aquarium which is always fun.  The octopus was incredibly active this time which had me entranced for some reason!  Lexi and Cody also went with us and kept us on our toes!  I was looking at the alligators with Lexi. The water line was above her head so she could only see their bellies, then I would lift her up and she could see their eyes and nose above water.  She looked at me and said "it's crazy! their freaking me out!"! It was hilarious!

After the aquarium we went to Joe's Crab Shack and got some delicious seafood.  I was teasing my dad that watching all those sea creatures swimming around made him hungry so we had to get seafood! We got some delicious ice cream from Cold Stone and then went to my grandparents house to find Grandma had gotten strawberry shortcake for my dad's birthday! Needless to say, our bellies were full!  Lexi also asked me on our way to the grandparents--"Do you think great gma & gpa know that its Grandpa's birthday!?"  She asked them when we got there and sure enough they knew!

I loved being able to hang out with Lexi for the day!  She is so funny and definitely keeps us busy!  Lexi and I shared the backseat with Katelyn on the way home.  We sang songs and she held my hand the entire way! I loved it!  Oh and if you eve wonder how a Taylor Swift song goes, just ask her!  She knows them all by heart!!

I hope my dad felt special on his birthday! It was definitely fun to go down and play for the day!  My dad is such a great guy, very adventurous and always supportive!  We love having him in our family!
