Vacation Day 4 - Happy Birthday!!

Day 4 of vacation was also Kelsey's 16th Birthday!!  We got up early to run down and make her a special breakfast in bed (although after a few days of waffles I'm not sure how special it was).  I had packed candles and matches, however I did not pack the box which apparently you need to light these particular matches :(  So we had to pretend her candle was lit while we sang Happy Birthday to her.

We did have a few surprises for her to open (which turned out not to be a surprise either because as we were packing Chase continued to yell "Hey Mom did you remember to pack those surprise presents for Kelsey's birthday and Father's Day?!).  She got some new books, DVD, and CA$H! 

After gifts and breakfast it was off for another fun full day at...

 We wanted to do something memorable and special for her birthday so we bought everyone all you can eat wrist bands, which entitled you to eat all you wanted all day at certain restaurants.  It was delicious...and we all left totally stuffed, so I think we hit the mark on the memorable part.

She was even able to get a huge slice of birthday cake!   

We stayed in the park all day and into the night.  When the sun went down, we went to the nighttime Shamu show.  We opted to stay OUT of the splash zone this time.  It was an amazing show, and after there were fireworks.  It was a really fun day.  I hope it was a birthday to remember.
