Luke's 3rd Birthday: Kiddie Acres


Happy 3rd Birthday, Luke!  This was the first year that Luke really understood the idea of a birthday party and had been anxiously awaiting his birthday party.  He kept asking- "will a lot of my friends be there?"  We had recently been to a party at Kiddie Acres and discovered this vintage Austin gem.  Its a small amusement park thats been around for decades.  Its great that the little kids can actually ride without an adult.  He had a blast and we were so thankful that so many of his friends and family could help him celebrate his birthday.  After the party, Luke told me he wants to stay 3 forever.   That was a deal I couldn't refuse.  No problem- he can stay 3 as long as he wants- I love this age! 
Luke's birthday requests were to get board games.  He received quite a few and we will be starting family game night very soon!   His favorites are Super Why alphabet game, Candy Land, Curious George Matching game and Chutes and Ladders.

 Luke holding on tight- practicing for the real pony ride (notice the cowboy boots- he had to wear them to ride the pony, just like a "real cowboy"!)

 Train rides with cousin Shawn and Nolan

 Finally- a REAL PONY RIDE!   By far, Luke's favorite part of the party!


Time for Pizza and Cake!  

Happy Birthday to you....

It was very windy- trying to keep the candles lit was a challenge

Make a wish! 

Of course, he wanted the chocolate cupcake, with chocolate ice cream, his favorite flavor! 


My sweet boy is growing up much to fast!  Love this kid!
