Lucas's Birthday Weekend

Lucas is a lucky boy because his birthday will always be near or on memorial day weekend.  Paige's is the same with Labor day.  We sure did time those well.  Poor Logan. Anyway, for Lucas's birthday we had three days of fun.  Neil and Ashley just happened to be coming to visit this weekend too, so Lucas got to play with cousins for his birthday.  We started off the festivities with a day in Santa Cruz.  We went to the Boardwalk. The kids had so much fun going on rides.

 I love Paige in this one.  She was always so good at posing and smiling while on the rides.

After the Boardwalk,we went to the beach.  It was super windy, and not really warm enough, but the kids still had a blast making sand castles.

Logan has been to multiple beaches before, and even this beach before and been totally fine, but he was not super impressed this weekend. I forced him to walk around just long enough to get cute pictures.

After the beach we went back to grandma and grandpa's house for dinner. Lucas has been asking to have crab legs for dinner for forever. I'm not really sure why.  I think he just saw them at Costco one day and decided he wanted to try them. So we made crab legs for dinner that night.  They were so delicious!  Any excuse to have crab legs.

Sunday was Lucas's actual birthday so after church we headed down to my parent's house for more food and playing with cousin's. Of course they all had to get in the hot tub.

 Then Lucas opened presents. Neil and Ashley even brought a present for him from Arizona - so nice of them!

Lucas isn't a huge fan of cake, he'd rather just eat the ice cream, so we had banana splits for his birthday dessert.  It was a little bit trickier to put candles in.

 He and Paige both love vanilla ice cream.

 On memorial day we spent the morning just playing with all the toys he got for his birthday. He built log cabins...

Legos...

And made cool circuit experiments...

 This was the present from Neil and Ashley.  SO Cool!

Then in the afternoon we played with the other present Lucas got for his birthday.  He had been begging for this motor boat every time we went to Costco for months so we finally broke down and got it for his birthday.

 It's huge and we have no idea where we'll store it, and we have to sneak into the residence inn pool to even use it, but he LOVED it!  Here he is giving Paige a ride.

 And all three. I'm not sure why Paige looks dead in this one.

We got Wendy's frosties too, cause the pool is right by Wendy's, and cause they are delicious!

We had such a fun weekend celebrating Lucas's birthday.  And we had fun spending time with family too.  I think Lucas is pretty spoiled!
