"Happy Birthday Daddy!!!"

Over last weekend, Bobby celebrated his "2nd Annual 30th birthday"!

We decided that a nice way to celebrate his birthday would be to head to Charlotte for a long over-due visit with Uncle Greg and an all day outing to Carowinds. When we arrived on Friday night we had a little bit of time to enjoy a great dinner outdoors before heading back to the house for bed. We went to a great Asian restaurant with a courtyard outside where a live band was performing. It was a great night of sitting back with the family and listening to some great music while Bryleigh ate (imagine that) and Brenden danced and played.

Here are some pictures from our dinner with Greg on Friday night:

On Saturday we spent the ENTIRE day at Carowinds enjoying some GREAT adult and kiddie rides. Brenden absolutely loved our time at the amusement park and was a champ about sitting out on the sidelines with Nana and Bryleigh while Papa, Greg, Mommy, and Daddy rode all of the "big peoples" rides. We all enjoyed a very entertaining ice skating show but would not recommend the show in the kids area. :/ Brenden and Bryleigh got to see a character parade and show with Nana. He was also very brave on some great rides. He loved the carousel and swings but we were proud of him for also riding on the boats, hot air balloons, and even a roller coaster!!! We have a great key chain picture to prove it! :) His least favorite ride was the Scooby- Doo haunted house but you never would have guessed it by looking at him posing with all of the character posters afterwards. It was DEFINITELY an amazing day of adventures, yummy food, and GREAT memories with the family! We loved EVERY second of our visit and have some great pictures to show for it too!

Our family is so blessed because of such an amazing man! As we've said before, Bobby is such a proud father, an encouraging husband, and amazing man! We are so proud of all that he is, all that he's done, and everything that he has become....including getting old! ;)
