Chesney's 4th Birthday

This all started back in March, when I started trying to plan Chesney's birthday. ( I know I'm a psycho, but I love to plan his birthday!) Chesney's niece Madi decided not to have a birthday party, so she could go to the beach. Chesney had a very incredulous look on his face when i told him, and then it was like a light bulb went off, it turned into "you can do that"?! He was very firm from that moment on that he didn't want a birthday party he wanted to go to the beach. I was a little crushed about not getting to plan a party, but it is HIS birthday I reminded myself. I resigned myself to Birthday trip planning. We decided on Galveston, so we would not have very far to drive. I found a great condo right on the beach and it was done. The waiting began; I think Chesney asked me everyday for a month if we were going to the beach yet. When the day finally came Chesney was having fits he was so excited.

First time on the beach. We stopped in La Porte to stay the night on Thursday night. It's Nemo birthday too!

Playing in the waves. Chesney and Zach had a blast.

The best ice cream EVER, at La Kings.

Gulf tour and dolphin watch.

There were quite a few dolphins, but this was the only one I got a good picture of.

Chesney hung out with the Captain a little.

Chesney and his TWO birthday desserts. They were singing "Happy Birthday" to him and he was in denial.

We really had a great time. I wish we could have had a big birthday bash like last years, but Chesney had a good time so that is all that matters. Instead of doing this (last years birthday)...

 We were doing this..

I have to say I think I have a pretty smart boy. Now I just have to worry about where he might want to go next year.
