Aiden's 4th Birthday Weekend

We celebrated Aiden's 4th birthday in perfect California weather. Saturday's highlight was the pool party at home for Aiden and his friends. Christina made an orange dragon cake of which all the kids, especially the birthday boy, approved! In the weeks leading up to his birthday Aiden spent a lot of time in the swimming pool and he is now an official swimmer. His favorite pool trick is when his dad launches him into the air and he lands with a huge splash in the pool... then comes up for air before swimming off to the side and getting out for more. We are very impressed!

On Sunday we went to the California Capital Air Show only about 10 miles from our house. It is a huge show with many US Air Force, Navy, and commercial aircraft on display. Aiden and Zack are both fans of fighter jets (Top Gun is in their top 5 movies), so they thoroughly enjoyed the exhibits and the aerial displays that were put on. Tomorrow Aiden starts his second year of pre-school.
