3's A Charm

Brock turned the big three years old today. He had a few simple requests for his big day. He wanted a "chocolate chip cake with a lolly-pop, a sucker, and a candy cane." When we sang happy birthday to him he wanted us to call him, "fire fighter Rickley." Last but not least, he wanted to go to the "ocean and see Mia (the octopus) at the aquarium." The only downer for the day was when we got to the aquarium we found Mia had been replaced by Amigo, and she (Mia)didn't come out to say "Hi" when we were at the beach.

Wipe Out

Riley managed to break loose while at the coast on Brock's birthday and the next thing we knew, he was up to his knees in salt water. It didn't take long before a wave got the best of him and he was totally submerged. Luckily for us Mom was right there to rescue him. These are the initial tears of shock. The tears moments later when he realized his fun in the sand was over aren't shown.
