Parkers 3rd Birthday

Parker's birthday was March 30th and I am finally getting around to posting pictures on his blog!  The two "to do" items today were to update the blog and send his Thank You notes!  After that we'll worry about laundry, grocery shopping, and studying! 

On Parker's birthday, we took him to the amusement park at the Mall of America.  Apparently on your birthday you can get an unlimited ride pass for FREE! Parker had a great time.  Since it was a Wednesday night there were not very many people so he never had to wait in line for the rides. Last year when we took him to the park he wouldn't even consider riding without us and even then was a little scared.  This year, he rode by himself and could have cared less if we were even there. 

His favorite ride was the trucks.  He would ride, get off, and then run around to the front of the line to ride again. I think he rode it about 20 times in a row.  Not sure why the guy running the ride just didn't let Parker stay in the truck instead of making him run around to the front of the line again. 

Since we got home so late on his actual birthday, we ate his little birthday cake the next night.  As you can see he was excited about his cake.
