5th birthday party

Yes, a shower of candy is worth screaming for.

Birthday weekend surprises

The first birthday surprise for Evan was the appearance of Grandpa and Grandma.  Everyone took a turn with the Wii.  Here is Grandpa and Evan dueling swords.



We braved the crowds during the city's spring break to see penguins, fish, dolphins and jellyfish and much more.

The second surprise for Evan and for Grandma and Grandpa was Reid and Suzie showing up.



Evan had his annual check up and his stats are 44.5 inches and 41 lbs. which puts in the 80th and 50th percentiles respectively.  I guess when you have endless energy you burn off all the calories you take in.  He got 3 shots which he bravely withstood but not without many tears.  He sure was happy to hear that he won't need any more until he's 12 year old.

Egg hunt #2

For some reason this whirlpool is Evan's favorite thing at this and our local outdoor pools, even with this many people.

Egg hunt #1

Our egg hunt of the year was on a crisp sunny day.  We met up with some of our friends.
