Well, sadly, our little baby,
recently turned four. His cute chubby cheeks are long gone now. He's grown into quite the big boy now. Daneen is going through withdraws knowing her little "baby" is all grown up now. We decided to take him somewhere for his birthday this year rather than have a big party with just the three of us. Daneen did make him a cake though and he opened presents but we saved the big surprise for the Monday after his birthday. Here he is with his favorite present.
Thanks GiGi!!!
Arrrr!!!!!!!
He had this thing for turtles the whole time we were there. He was looking for them in every tank we walked by and he would ask us about them in every exhibit. I guess we know what kind of pet to get him! After an hour in the aquarium we took a break and headed over to the IMAX movie.
For some reason, in our parental brilliance, Daneen and I both thought Carson, the little boy who had a phobia of penguins for crying out loud, would like a 3-D IMAX movie on dinosaurs!!!!! Well, you can imagine how that went....... We did get a cute picture of him with his 3-D glasses but I don't think he kept them on longer than 15 or 20 seconds. He caught on that the glasses were making the movie "freaky".
After our interesting experience at IMAX we headed back to the aquarium to finish walking through everything there. Here are some random pics from that.
He's not scared one bit!!!!
Obviously over the penguin phobia (just thought the picture looked cool)
Can't get much closer!
When we finally got done with the aquarium it was around 3:00 in the afternoon and it was HOT!!!! Carson needed to cool down so we walked to these steps where the city has water rushing down. He got down to his shorts and had a blast playing around.
Okay, I better bring this post to a close. Carson had a blast on his little birthday trip. It was so fun to see him excited about everything we were doing. We are really lucky to have such a great kid! If, and I mean a big if for most of you, you are in Chattanooga, TN you should really think about going to the aquarium and playing around downtown. We didn't have the time or the energy for the last stop (this kids hands on museum). We will have to make another trip for that......dangit! Hope everyone is great!

That looks like it was SOOO much fun! Wish we could've gone with you guys. Next time we're in Chattanooga, we'll give you guys a call and you can meet us there.
And Carson looks AWESOME in his pirate costume. He could seriously be the model for that product. Every mom would want to buy it for their kids when they saw how cute he looks.
