Alex's 3rd Birthday

Alex is 3 already! I can't believe it! For Alex's 3rd birthday, Doug and I took him to the zoo and the aquarium taking the train to travel between both locations. We had a blast! We ate lunch in the Shark Reef Cafe and watched sharks, large fish, and sea turtles swim by as we ate.


Here is Alex when we first arrived at the zoo. He loves to ride in the wagons you can rent.

Riding the train on Daddy's lap. Alex was a little nervous going through the tunnel.

All tuckered out after the zoo and aquarium. He feel asleep while grasping his new pirate ship bath toy he got from the gift shop.



I made a custom "Thomas the Train" cake for Alex.

One happy kid! He'd been asking to eat the cake all day.

Alex's birthday present is a tool bench complete with a shop vac, faux wood projects, hammers, pliers, wrenches, nuts and bolts, a saw and a power drill. He has lots of fun with his tools. A couple months ago, Doug took Alex with him to the tire shop. Alex watched with excitement as they rotated our tires. Since then, he "fixes the tires" of all of his toy cars. Now he has his own tools and doesn't has to keep steeling his Daddy's tools from the garage.
