Caroline's Fourth Birthday

Although it's been a few days I thought I'd post a quick diddy about Caroline's birthday.  We decided to take the family to SeaWorld for Caroline's birthday and let her choose our agenda for the day.  We started the day opening gifts before we left for SeaWorld.  She loved getting more TAG books that go with her TAG Jr.  and a nice case to keep it all in.  Then it was off to SeaWorld.

     When we arrived we headed over to the dolphin feeding section.  As long as we have had annual passes we've never fed the dolphins.  It was one of those things we always put off because we had passes and we'd just do it on our next visit.  The time had come to feed the dolphins.  I took Connor & Caroline to feed the dolphins and Craig took Cooper to the underground viewing section to watch the dolphins swim.  The kids had a blast but they were still a little too short to see all the action.  After we ran out of fish I lifted them up to see but the dolphins were swimming just out of reach from them so they didn't get to touch them. 

    After feeding the dolphins we headed out to take a quick glimpse at the stinky penguins before the Whale & Dolphin show began.  After we saw the penguins she just had to have a little stuffed penguin as her birthday gift from us.  She affectionately named it "Mingo" and added it to her stash of "friends" that she sleeps with at night. 

Then it was off to the Whale & Dolphin show which is always a favorite with our family.  We then headed over to ride the carosel in which the whole family rode around.  We finished the day with an ice cream in a cone before we headed home. After we got home we walked next door and she got her birthday present from Aunt Pam & Uncle Brant - a new Zoobles play set. She loved it!  I can't believe my girl is four years old.

  Since her birthday was over Christmas break she had her "special day" at school a few days early before they left for break.  I was off from work so I helped make her a special "gingerbread girl" for her birthday cake to share with the class.  She loved adding all the sprinkles and colors to her girl.  She helped me mix it and bake it and decorate it.
