Cedric Turns 6!!!

From snow and ice sculptures and dogs pulling sleds while wearing tiny booties to the tropical paradise of H2Oassis, Cedric's birthday celebrations continued. We basked in the humid tropical air. Our skin like sponges, appeared to re-inflate becoming pink and supple. Here are a couple of pictures of the inside. The tube along the upper portions of the picture is the Master Blaster, Cedric's favorite part of this water park. Below the Master Blaster is the Pirate Ship with lots of cool slides, water cannons, and other pirate ship amenities produce a boy's play paradise. Blake spent most of his time in the helm yelling "Aaaaarrrgh" to anyone who dared come near. Cedric was on a speed water slide marathon. How many slides could he do in a minute, 5 minutes, 20 minutes, etc. In this picture, you can see the wave pool in the distance. The water goes from a shallow "beach" to 5 feet deep. Periodically, waves are generated creating an ocean feel. Blake loved jumping the waves. But wait.....where is Cedric? Ah Ha! There he is....in the lazy river, which circles the whole water park. Patrick is enjoying the steady "shower" of a sprinkler. Cedric and Jim eagerly wait in line for a raft so they can climb up nearly 3 stories worth of stairs while carrying their raft (ok...Jim carried the raft) , just to ride down the fabulous...the magnificant....the amazingly fun...MASTER BLASTER! Waaaaa hoooooo! The Master Blaster empties into the lazy river. Ahhhhh!

Pizza never tastes as good as after wild, active, water time! I think Cedric ate 5 pieces of pizza. Silly boys....Patrick and Brennen inhaled their food and were ready to get back to the action below. Ross gives Cedric the finer points of present opening....and a little friendly assistance too. :-) Cake....yummy cake. So...how many candles can you get in a cupcake? We got 6, but I bet we could have put more on there. The happy birthday song. This is the best part. :-)

Happy Birthday Cedric!
