The Fishers: He's Four!

Last Saturday Caden turned 4 yrs old! The day started with fresh donuts for breakfast (a favorite of his) then in the afternoon we took him to Boomers in Vista. It was funny, on the way to the place, Ethan says, "Caden you get to go on anything you want because your FREE on your birthday!" Caden says, "No dad, I'm not free, I'm FOUR on my birthday." We busted up laughing. Caden has a hard time saying his "th's" and instead pronounces it "fr". Understandable mistake in his mind:)

Caden was so excited to go on the go-karts for the first time with Ethan and started off the first lap flying around the corners at top speed with Ethan driving (Ethan was a little too excited). So I watch Caden flying by getting jiggled to death with a look of terror on his face- so classic. It took Ethan a minute to figure out he needed to slow down just a tad and then Caden was all smiles the rest of the ride. I then took him on the bumper boats which I don't think I'll do again because I ended up looking like a drowned rat the rest of the day. Lets just say there were a lot of other punk kids on the boats who thought I was an easy target:) We played games in the arcade, let Caden play an express round of mini golf then played in this cool climbing/tube structure called Kidopolis. It's like a fast food playland but 10 times bigger! I'm surprised the kids didn't get lost in there. They loved it.

For dinner, we let Caden pick and he chose Denny's of all places. He really wanted that baseball pancake for dinner- why not? We ended the meal sharing a big banana split dessert. After, we came home and opened presents of which his favorites included a remote control convertible, a marble run, water rockets and Fisher Price Trio blocks. The following day we had a small party with family and cousins at my in-laws with birthday cake and all. He had a great birthday and we are so proud of the big boy Caden is becoming so fast.
