We had a whole weekend dedicated to celebrating one special man's birthday! We started by going to a Cardinals game Thursday night. I could tell he was tired but he liked it. He has started watching the Cardinals games with me at home so I thought he would like it. We stayed for a little bit and then headed home.
Friday morning we got up SUPER early and headed to Knotts Berry Farm. The car ride wasn't bad at all. I had packed a backpack with snacks and activities for Blake. He's really into stickers and my mom found a farm sticker book for him to play with on the trip. It was seriously a life savor! He played with it for a good hour! He loved moving the animals around the farm and then thought it would be funny to put them on his head. He fell asleep for the last 45 minutes of the trip.
We stayed at the Knotts Berry Farm hotel since it was on the park property and we could just walk back and forth to the park. We dropped off our stuff and headed to the park. We got there around 11:30. Blake took pictures with snoopy and then headed to his first ride. He went on the airplanes first. He had to go alone and he was totally cool with it. He takes flying really seriously so he would annoyingly wave at up quick as he pasted and then get back to flying. It was super funny. Then we grabbed lunch. We purchased the dining plans so we wouldn't have to worry about prices. We could eat every 90 minutes and then we purchased the unlimited drinks pass.
Blake went on hot air balloons, bouncing quads, swings, bumping trains, school bus, boat ride and his favorite the Commercial Trucks. He LOVED the trucks! I went on it with him and we had to do it again with daddy later. He loved driving it and having daddy as the passenger.
We went on two train rides as a family. Jeremey and I both rode two roller coasters. We went separately. Towards the end of the day the roller coasters were pretty crowded so we didn't get to ride the ones we wanted to but Blake got to do the airplane ride a few more times.
We did go back to our hotel part way through the day for naps. Both kids took naps as well as Jeremy. I had to wake them up or they would have slept the day away. :)
We all slept really well that night. Kylie even slept through the night.
Saturday was Blake's actual Birthday. We started by having breakfast at the hotel restaurant. Snoopy was suppose to be there but we went too early. Blake enjoyed the buffet. Then we went to the swimming pool. The water was a little cold so we hung out in the hot tub. The hot tub was just like a warm bath so Blake was able to hang with us. Jeremy and Blake loved running through the freezing cold splash pad and then get in the hot tub.
After we got ready and headed to San Diego. Traffic ended up being horrible so it took us a lot longer than we expected. We ended up going to Oceanside beach instead of going to San Diego to find a beach. It was really fun. Blake loved the waves but hated having sand on his hands. It was pretty funny. We walked to the pier and walked about half of the pier. We grabbed some popcorn and shared it on the beach. Kylie LOVED laying on the beach towel on the beach. She was all smiles and giggles! It was hard to get Blake to leave at the end. He loved the water.
We headed to our hotel in San Diego and then headed to downtown San Diego. There was an event going on so it was impossible to find parking. We had drove 30 minutes from our hotel to get there so we really wanted to go where we planned. After at least an hour of driving around we found a parking spot and we walked to a shrimp place and ordered food. It was really late so Blake was pretty tired and started acting up. He ended up needing to go to the bathroom so Jeremy took him then he settled down and ate dinner. We head to the hotel after and went to sleep at like 10 or 11. Long day.
Sunday we started heading home. Jeremy had found a park for us to check out around the San Diego zoo. We thought we would stop for 30 minutes but ended up finding a ton of cool stuff to do so it turned into over 3 hours. We headed home after and the kids slept for 4 and a half hours. So I only had to entertain them for an hour.
Monday we celebrated Blakes birthday! After his nap I had all his presents from Grandma and Grandpa Krass and Jeremy and I on the table. He was pretty excited and he opened them. He got books, a backpack, tool box, elmo phone, trucks and a big little tikes truck. I also picked up some cupcakes so we sang to him and then he blew out the candles all by himself!
He had an awesome birthday!! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Krass for the presents!!
