He got The Little House on the Prairie CD's and was pretty excited about it. We had school time punctuated with some fun little neighbor visits to wish him a happy birthday. Later that day, we had homemade pepperoni pizza for dinner and then headed off to Tunnel Voyage to play. Unfortunately, they closed an hour earlier than what they had told us on the phone, so when we got there, they were wiping things down and getting ready to close. Sad! But they were so nice and felt so bad that they had given us the wrong info that they let the kids go on some of the rides for free and gave us a bunch of half off coupons to use another day! So, it turned out. I got some funny pictures of them. They have a ship that is a small version of the Tidalwave at Lagoon.
They were all SO EXCITED to get on it until they realized what it was going to do once the gal got it going. Mary had the funniest face! I'm awful...she and Joseph looked so cute and funny. They were fine...until the little teacups that go in an oblong circle.
Mary was into her little cup chair in no time...smiling and saying, "Daddy, look at me!"
In 30 seconds, she was off. It really whipped them around the corners. Joseph wouldn't even get on it. Danny and Nate loved it though! Then they all got a free ring pop! Can you beat that? They were very happy.
Then we came home and had cake and ice cream.
Danny got a mousetrap game and was THRILLED.
He didn't really even want to play the game. He just wanted to put the things together and watch it work.
Definitely, a happy day in the Vance home! Now looking forward to his baptism!! (which will be on the 20th)

Happy birthday Danny boy! I'm glad to see you guys had a fun day. I love the teacup picture of Mary. She looks SO grown up. I miss you guys. I'm jealous of Mom's trip over there.
P.S. That cake is so professional. Great job.
P.S.S. Keep the posts coming lady. I love to be caught up on the Vance happenings.

WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
Gah! This looks like the most fortunate birthday ever! I bet Danny felt real special that they kept the place open just for you! It's times like these when I would smile proudly and say, "Community!" Happy Birfday Danny! And Libby's right, what a cake!
Happy Birthday, Danny! I love the Little House books and the TV show. That is so awesome he is into them too.
Thanks for picking me up for the shower. I had fun!
Happy Birfinday, Danny boy! Oh man, that day sounded like a blast! Danny sure is lucky. He got The Little House on the Prairie cds! I seriously loved that show when I was little. And Mousetrap provides hours of entertainment, whether it be actually playing the game or just setting it up (: I sure miss you cute kids... and I also miss cake. In fact, I think I'll go get some cake from the store because that one looks so good! Accept I don't think it will make it all the way to that beautifully finished product! (I just love that batter) LOVE YOU!!!
