Happy 30th Birthday Jason!

For Jason's BIG day we headed to Roaring Camp Railroad with some friends. Jason started the morning with a surprise delivery of some fun balloons and his birthday gift (Thank you Henries for helping make this possible). Jason is actually getting two gifts this year. This morning I gave him some new aviator sunglasses and then I set an appointment with an Allergy Immunologist to start allergy shots! No more sniffles!

We rode a steam engine through a redwood forest (AMAZING) and then headed to a nearby restaurant to snag some lunch. We happened upon our lunch spot and it was incredible food; so fresh and so light! The service was also great. Dan snuck out to the car to take Jason's birthday cake (which I drove all the way to Los Gatos to get from Icing on the Cake) and managed to get it to the waiter who was then able to surprise Jason at the end of the meal. This is the first time I've really accomplished a true surprise where he was expecting NOTHING!! It was so fun! I could not have done it without our incredible friends. Below is picture overload! Sorry, but it was just such a fun day and I couldn't contain myself and then I really couldn't bring myself to cut many. . .so here we are:

The Steam Engine!
Will, crossing the bridge becuase he had business at the other side!
Will ignoring the super cool train for a leaf.
Jason and Will, enjoying the train car.
He's so cute!
Gotta have your tickets!
He was so into the forest he barely even noticed Mom and Dad.
The steam engine was pretty cool except for the one section where the conductor intentionally sent us through a plume he created. It was actually pretty wet and the kids were not impressed.
A little family photo!
They start their lives of crime so young!!
He could not get enough of the forest. He's definitely going to be a quality boy scout.
A little more engine action.Will loved this little Will sized barn they had. He kept playing with the doors and loved playing hide and seek with Jason (Jason mostly hid inside).
More barn.
He's coming to get dad. . .through the window!
A shot from the outside for a little perspective.
I swear, we are good parents and usually don't let him play on train tracks;).
There were ducks down below he thought were fascinating.

All in all, a pretty solid fun birthday. Jason smiled the whole day and that's all I can ask for. Happy Birthday! Love you!
