August 25th

Dorie's birthday! We had planned on taking her to this science center with nature trails and frogs and turtles all the things she loves but as we were driving there it started it rain. Just like last year. Dave said how about the Aquarium since we were still in Boston and Dorie says well that's what I wanted to do in the 1st place. Oh silly sassy 4 year old.
We picked her up from school and gave her presents

 and a puzzle not shown. obviously the scooter stole the show

Then we headed to the Aquarium.

We went out to eat at My Thai after the Aquarium. Dorie loves their bubble tea. He favorite part is the "blueberries" at the bottom. She shared my chicken and broccoli and chicken fingers. She sometimes won't try new things so she was excited to get chicken fingers. We didn't tell her they weren't real until the end. The whole time she kept saying how great they were and then when we told her she didn't believe us. We also got a piece of chocolate cake to bring home for later. We split it in 3 (birthday girl got the biggest!) and sang happy birthday. It was a fun day!
