Birthday Celebrations - August 5th & 6th, 2012
Vaca at Silverleaf's Seaside Resort past Jamaica Beach
Daddy wakes up to birthday presents from the girls
The girls resisted opening the Tinkerbell wrapped gifts
It's got to be something good wrapped in that paper
Box is clear of paper, time to reveal the treasure
Oooh, yellow Nautica shirt replacement, Yes!
Gift two, Erin helps unwrap, Alex supervises
Blue striped Nautica shirt, won't I look sharp!
Nena gives a timely beach towel while at the beach!
Another perfect sized Hawaiian shirt in new color
Am I awesome enough to own two swim suits? YES!
The girls help Ahma open her gifts a day early
Let us help you open your gift, Ahma
What is it? Ohh, so nice!
A new yellow purse, exactly like my favorite blue purse
There is something inside, what is it?
Nice, some makeup I've been meaning to get myself, Good!
View of condos toward the beach & San Luis Pass Rd
Let's go to the beach or a place for birthday lunch
Girls in their seats ready to head into Galveston
David still has to sit with kids in the back
Rain stops for us to get inside the Rain Forest Cafe
Donna and David grab a booth under the monkeys
Holy Cow! Those things come to life! Every 10 minutes!
I'm sitting with you, Mommy I'm scared of monkeys!
Let's check out the restaurant while lunch is cooked
We like playing with the bar chair animal tails
David gets a shrimp, steak & coconut shrimp plate
The coconut shrimp is mighty fine!
And then the monkeys come back to life
Not the monkey's again, make them stop!
Erin doesn't think those monkeys are so bad
Elephants come to life beyond the center aquarium
Say hello to the Brownie/Ice Cream Volcano
We must participate in the Happy Birthday serenade
Nena flaps like a bird during the Rain Forest clap along
David does the elephant trunk raise during the song
Nena & David pose with their 2012 birthday cake, NICE!
Head down to the River Adventure Ride after lunch
Please tell me there aren't monkeys down here, momma
Take a six people boat for the river adventure
Scan of digital photo printout with everyone smiling
Nena gets an improved smile on the river boat pose
Alex & Erin are blown away by river adventure
Ancient civilizations came & went along the river
A giant snake threatens us from above
Look out Alex! More monkeys, going ape!
A giraffe stretches out for the good leaves
Gator looks less ferocious with a good flash
Elephants aren't excited to see us
No, your flash is a little blinding here in the dark
Erin is trying to take it all in
A vulture prefers to remain in the dark
Snake and Tiger say cheese for the camera
Another tiger comes down from the ledge for a photo
Snake peers out of a pot as we pass by
Six armed deity offers a light and a drink
A mighty tall cobra offers to top off our water glass
Black light spiders not as good with a flash
Round the corner and find the exit to our adventure
Birthday dinner at King's w/Mom & Dad, Holly & Andy
Mike B joins us for $10 All You Can Eat sausages
Big bowl of birthday banana pudding at work on Monday
Coworkers catch up on the news awaiting the party to start
We're ready to sing Happy Birthday & get to that pudding
No pudding until you finish a good Happy Birthday song!
Tey digs in, Richard brings spoons for his bowl
Please serve me a double helping!
Aaron and Lee are willing to put off CURF2 awhile for this
I won't take seconds until I know birthday boy has had his
Pudding instead of cake is a great idea
Shelley helps David celebrate at USA a final time?
