Birthday Fun Begins–Coco Key

This year, Jack requested his birthday party at Coco Key again with his best buddies Ben and Sam. We went last Thursday and all of the boys declared it was “the best day ever.” Here are Nathan and the boys getting ready to get in the water.

Jack’s favorite thing this year was the “raging river,” which is really the lazy river. The water was just shallow enough that the boys could touch easily and the current pushed them along pretty quickly. They did many, many laps of the raging river and could have gone on much longer.

The waterslides were a hit again. They are now big enough to go by themselves and we could stand at the bottom and watch. Every once in a while Jack would ask me to go with him, but I had to run to keep up with him and then he would launch himself into the waterslide without a second thought for Mommy. This is a picture on one of the baby slides. We didn’t get any pictures on the big slides.

He has been requesting a moose themed party for a couple of months now, so the moose fun began at Coco Key and will continue at his family party. We made moose cupcakes and moose munch for treats.

What a fun, and tiring, afternoon! Jack slept two hours later than usual the next morning. Birthday fun continues this week, including his real big day on Wednesday, his party at school on Thursday and his family party on Saturday.
