Birthday!

This weekend we celebrated Trent's 3rd birthday!

We had a party with friends and family on Saturday. We had kites, a pool, a ball, all at Kamalani park. For those of you who know that park I put up a little pool because they built up the wall of Lydgate's ponds so now it looks almost like river water...not the nice blue ponds we remember growing up :( anywho...it was lots of fun and we were so happy that so many people could come and help us celebrate. Trent was so sad when it was all over he started running after Grandma Evie's car begging them to stay longer. We finally convinced him to go home and open more presents.

Here he is flying his kite with his cousin Hayden and Papa Myles! It was such a good day for flying kites we ended up tying up the kites to a hammer and they flew themselves!

He specifically requested dinosaurs for nearly everything this year! Thanks to Grandma Evie for getting him this awesome Dinosaur cake and aunty Tess for getting the candle last minute!

I re-purposed a board that one of my friends had given me for Christmas one year for Trent. I pretty much had to re-do the whole thing to put in a different background fabric but I think it came out pretty good...Now I can display his birthday cards and drawings as they come in, so he can enjoy them for a while longer!

 Sunday was his actual birthday! Even though we're all kind of getting over our colds (Trent caught a cold after Superbowl and decided to share with Mommy and Daddy!) we still decided to try to make this an extra special day for Trent. We tried to go to Kountry Kitchen for breakfast....the wait time was too long, so we decided to go to Tip Top, we had just missed breakfast so we had lunch instead.

We surprised Trent and took him riding on a train for his birthday! We went on the Kilohana train tour (kinda the best you can do on Kauai for train fans :p.). He was so excited to see the train! They even gave him a shout out on the train ride which made his day. The best part of the train ride was that they stopped so we could feed the animals. Trent has recently been obsessed with farm animals and this was quite possibly the best part for him ^_^ After the train ride Daddy took him shopping one more time for a birthday present...wouldn't you know he picked a toy about animals! By the time we were halfway home he knocked out! It was an awesome day!

Family day at the train...can you tell he's excited???

He was so happy to ride the train!

Most of the animals were pigs and goats. The sheeps and cows stayed back...the goats came right up and plucked the bread out of his hand!
