Gabe Turns 6!

Gabe turned 6 on September 18.  It's so hard to believe that our baby is six.  Six!  His birthday fell on a Wednesday, and it happened to be a half-day at school, so I asked Gabe how he wanted to celebrate.  We ended up going to Chuck E Cheese right after school; for the first 45 minutes, we were the only ones in the place!  The boys had a great time.  Later that night when Dad got home from work, Gabe opened up his presents.

Then on Friday evening, Gabe had his first ever all-boys/kid party at a bouncing/jumping place called, Pump It Up.  The party went really well and Gabe had a great time. 

Looking back, it really was Birthday-palooza, actually.  On the Sunday after his birthday, we went back to Coco Key Water Park and had a blast!  Later in the afternoon, Nini & Papa came over and we had more cake and presents.

Happy Birthday to our little, big guy!

The pictures didn't upload exactly in order.  Ah well.
