Filson's 5!

 It doesn't seem possible that our baby could turn 5 today!  Here he is waking up to his gifts & cards.
 Excited about his new glow-in-the-dark Hex a bug.
 Not a bad start to the day!
 While his brothers napped, he & I assembled & tested his new Hot Wheels v-drop.  It's a keeper!
 All grown up, now he's looking forward to starting school next month!
 Another dirt digging tree climber....just look at those dirty hands : )
 We had a picnic at Wrightsville Beach Park for lunch.
 Filson took 2 buddies with us to Jungle Rapids Water Park this evening.  We had never been, and I was actually pretty impressed as they had a wave pool, lazy river, large kiddie area, and about 6 big water slides.  With 5 kids, there wasn't any time to stop & take pictures!  Ian saw the older 2 boys go down the tall slide in the background of this picture, so he thought he would be brave & climbed up the stairs & went down the all by himself.  He was so proud of himself, so I had to snap a picture of the slide for him!
 These 3 will all be starting at Ogden Elementary next month.....looks like trouble!
 The crew before leaving the water park.
Pizza @ Mellow Mushroom & cakepops for dessert, a pretty good way to spend a birthday!
