Feliz cumpleaños Blake

This last weekend Blake turned 4 in the best place possible for a kid to have a birthday!!!
Disney World!

Back in November we found a steal of a deal on plane tickets from Philly to Florida and decided to get them. We also got FREE passes into Disney World for doing a day of service here in PA! It was all such a great deal that we just couldn't pass it up. Plus we got to spend the whole time in FL with our good friends Matt and Brittney and their kids.


Mike made this awesome Super Why/Super Blake birthday cake upon Blake's request.

One of the highlights was this great roller coaster ride Blake clearly LOVED..
. (apparently so did I)



The roller coaster quickly took a backseat after we found Mickey Mouse and his house.







We spent some time in Miami/Ft. Lauderdale where Matt and Brittney live.




We visited the Everglades and saw some alligators...
Tough guys???

Maybe not...
They jumped back this far .2 seconds after the alligator swung his tale!

Bye Florida, you will be missed! Back to cold and rainy Philadelphia.

Now that is how you party on your birthday! We love Disney! It looks like Blake loved it all too...ok maybe not the roller coaster! He is such a big boy and so handsome. Do you still look at him and think he is so different looking with his hair cut? I do. It is so nice that he can be so cute both ways. Happy Birthday Blake! Looks like you had one of the best birthdays ever! You are one lucky boy, and very loved to get a special birthday like that. We've never been to Disney World. Looks like fun for the whole family!

What a genius plan! Looks like a perfect birthday, perhaps minus the roller coaster.

I'm with Blake - not a fan of roller coasters. But everything else looked like fun. We're still trying to figure out our Disney vacation so we'll have to talk details sometime.

What great pictures of Blake on the Goofy roller coaster! We actually couldn't get Kennedy off of it because that's all she wanted to do! I'm glad you guys had such a fun trip...that's seriously got to be the best birthday ever, right?

Lorissa said...

Best birthday ever is right! Looks like you had a blast. I cannot believe that your husband seriously touched an alligator and still has his arm. BRAVE!

Christina said...
