Captains Log: Day 321 Birthday Party for ALL

So we had Pizza and Cookie Cake to celebrate their birthdays.   It really wasn't that much different than most weeks except for the Cookie cake saying Happy BIrthday and they did get presents from Grandma and Grandpa. They have been getting their pick of themeparks in Orlando for the last few years but aren't going this year due to the pandemic.   So we will have to do something else.    
 










At home the TOOTH FAIRY had to visit because not only did he JUST turn 5 but LOST his 1st tooth.   He did loosen it at the waterpark by bumping it on the table. I thought he would loose it that night but didn't.  I feel bad I didn't really prepare him for that... I wasn't ready for him to loose his 1st tooth already. He was upset when it was loose but  told him that was normal and he would get new ones in.  I showed him a show to see this was normal and he was excited that the tooth fairy was going to come.

Jon and th ecomputer.... its been a week that we have had trouble getting this stupid thing back to working again.   The latest problem was I couldn't get into BIOS to get it to boot from the USB to install Windows 10.... Finally I lucked out and found it downloaded Windows and fiddled with it enough that we were back to fine again.  He is very happy t obe back gaming and Minecrafting again.

Captains Log: Day 320 Splash Lagoon


SO the good thing is that the waterpark is open an hour before for Hotel guests and this hour was wonderful.  There was barely anybody there and so this was a fun time. The later it got the more  crowded and chaotic it was and felt awful being there.  But by then it had been 2 hours and they were hungry.   Yes Andre wcame with us this time.... He had no choice.

Pictures



Before we went to Splash Lagoon,  I had pictures done with Alex.  Here is one of the finished product.   I got a digital copy so I got this one right away.   The others are coming by mail.
 

Captains Log: Day 319 Splash Lagoon



For their Birthdays I usually take them to the Waterpark in Niagara Falls.   We can't do that this year and part of me didn't want to even do this in PA  however some times you go to say the heck with it and give it a go.   I'm not worried about myself.   I have had both shots and its now been 2 weeks since the 2nd.  Its the kids.  Even Andrew not so much as he didn't even bother coming down till we decided to eeat and then the place was closed.  Alex was with me the entire time and Jonathan is usually good. It was busy when we got there and it did taper off the later it got.

After we went back to the hotel room. We could have gone to the pool but that is wher eeverybody went after they closed the waterpark down.  We had a Whirlpool tub that Jonathan enjoyed and tried to get Alex in but wanted nothing to do with it

Build A Bear

I know   he doesn't need anymore stuffed animals but this I thought would be fun for him. They have pay your age Birthday Bear.  so it was reasonable and worth the experience.   He loved it and was so excited to get to stuff the bear and they put a heart in him. The shirt (on the bear) cost more than the bear and the bear came in a box that looked like a house.   He LOVED this !!! ALL of this..
