Allison is 4!

Goodnight to our 3 year old sleeping angel. We love you.
 
 
For Allison's 4th birthday Dave and I took her to Cowabunga Bay. This was her first time going and she was just tall enough (40", when stretched) to go on the waterslides by herself. She was so excited and we all had so much fun! We took turns taking her on the blue and green open slides and then she wanted to go on them by herself.....she did awesome! This brave little girl then wanted to go on the tallest slide, the pink tunnel slide. Turns out you can't ride with anyone on the inclosed waterslides so she would have to go on it alone. We told her it would be dark in there but then she would come out and see the sunshine and to just sit on her bum. We watched a lot of people go on it as we waited in line and she seemed to be okay. Then it was her turn. Daddy went first to be at the bottom and I nervously sent her down from the top. Tears, screams, crying.....no way! She came flying out like a scared wet cat quickly followed by "that was so fun!, can we go again?"!!!
We are so proud of her! Way to go big kid!

 A new big girl bike was waiting for her when she woke up.
 Benson stayed with G&G S while we were at the waterslide park. When we went to go pick him up they surprised Alli with her presents and a beautiful cupcake.

 Love you Papa and Labu!
 The red flyer has been passed on to a new owner and now it's bike time for all!
 The next day we had a birthday party for Allison. Care Bears and pizza: her two favorite things. Well....pizza, maybe; Care Bears, definitely! 


 We loved getting together and being able to celebrate Alli's birthday.
Happy Birthday Allison! We love you more and more every second!
