Gavin's 4th Birthday

 For Gavin's 4th birthday we decided to give up on outdoor activities...it's just TOO HOT!!!  So we took Gavin and his friends to Makutu's Island, a fun indoor tree house with tons of slides, climbing and even a zip line!  It also had an arcade which as a big hit as well.  Some of the kids were a little apprehensive to jump into the craziness but soon were running around having a blast!  We had a great time and all we had to do was show up... that's my kind of party!! :)

(so right after we got there Jason and I realized we forgot to charge the camera and it promptly died. So all the pics are from my iphone which does have a good camera except I'd never used it before, so the pictures are kind of sad)

Gavin's big present: a 4 WHEELER!!  HE LOVES IT!!!

Makutu himself made an appearance but all the pics were blurry.  I can't believe my little boy is already 4 years old!!  Gavin, Mommy and Daddy love you so much and feel so blessed that you came to our family.  You bring such joy, energy, excitement and fun to our lives.  You definitely keep us on our toes!  You are growing up so fast.  You have such a tender heart and try to choose the right.  You are so curious and are always exploring things.  You are a bundle of energy and are often found bouncing around the house and furniture!  You are so smart and love to learn and practice your writing.  I love you, my sweet boy!  Happy birthday!
