Fantastic Four

This year, Mom and Dad decided they'd stop the "big" parties for me.  Instead, we spent 48 hours partying like rock stars at the local waterpark!  All sponsored by Mom's work - Thank you TD Ameritrade!  Here's Mom's best shot of the Pirate Ship at the water park.  Mom and I spent about 3 hours on Tuesday night getting comfortable with all the amenities.  I had a great time, but Mom is mad about water parks so I think she had an even BETTER time!

I'm not embarassed to admit that I passed out at dinner on night one.  Here I am getting some much needed rest.

Which was useful because the next morning Daddy showed up with Bryce and my girls! They jumped right into party mode with me :)

Not to brag, but I went down every slide.  Full credit goes to the girls who took this guy from being scared of the sprinkler to being brave enough to go down water slides solo with their relentless water therapy.  Thanks Sydney and KK!

My gorgeous girls.  Could a guy get any luckier?!

Just when you think a day can't get any better...  My cousins showed up to join in the fun!  Izzy and KK had a blast together and Oli was a champ in the water too.  I passed out round one of Spiderman Cupcakes and thanked them all for coming to celebrate me :)

I had exactly one hour of down time to eat and rest and then... PARKER and ALYSSA showed up!  Parker came ready to party of course!

No surprise, B took full advantage of the Mom time and turned on the charm full blast. 

While I enjoyed my best buds, Parker and Vann and our Daddies on the lazy river.  What a great time!

Parker and I pretended we were tubing.  Leave it to us to make the lazy river an extreme sport....

And... my best friend Vann hung out to all night!  We got to watch a move and eat popcorn before we both crashed at the hotel.  You know you can always count on your best bud to be there til the bitter end.

Even though I had a slight ankle injury, I still had the best day ever.  We slept hard and woke up ready for yet another day of fun.

Here we are headed to breakfast in the morning! 

We were slightly distracted by the opportunity to play golfckey which is our version of full contact golf with scores.  After breakfast, we helped Mom pack up the room and then swam for another 3 hours before calling it a day. 

What an epic party!  Thanks to all my best friends, neighbors and cousins who made it the BEST 48 hour celebration ever.  Also, a special note of thanks to my cool little bro who was a trooper all week and happily endured a schedule upheaval in order to ensure I had a great birthday.  Love you little man!
