Sweet Pea Turns 3!

June 6th was SP's 3rd(!) birthday. 

We celebrated the birthday festivities at Mount Olympus in Wisconsin Dells. 


Road trip to the Dells!


LB taking a turn on the giant swings. 


That face totally captures how Hubby feels about spinning in circles :)


SP was big enough to ride some of the rides by herself this year!


Vacations require selfies :)


I drew the short straw for the teacup-type ride. 


I got to vacation wth these cool people!


At the end of our first day. 


They were pretty in love with the bunk beds.  Epic hotel room - 4 beds (bunk bed and 2 queen sized beds) for less than $200/night including park admission. 


Our side of the room :)


Their beds immediately became a fort. 


LB was tall enough to drive the big go karts this year! Six more years until driving is an every day deal :)


This one is still a ride-along. 


We're a little worried about her driving. 


After a drive - she was pretty happy with herself. 


Gave Hubby his Father's Day present early so they could sport them around the park. 


I told her we were going to ride - this was her reaction. 


Mandatory trip to Paul Bunyan's. 


She ate a TON!


On my birthday, we wore coordinating shirts (my bday is June 5). 


Bagels and cream cheese are her very favorite - especially with "coffee" aka hot chocolate. 


Early morning selfies. 


The first of a long line of embarrassing pre-teen moments. 


Really, the most important thing was having some birthday caffeine - mocha for the win. 


This was LB's last year being short enough for this ride :)


This was a giant trolley that - shockingly - SP was short enough to ride herself. Luckily LB went with. 


Her legs were worn out - and Hubby was complimented on this shirt. 




Out for my birthday dinner. 


Which was free-ninety-free thanks to LB telling the cashier it was my bday. We made sure to tell her how awesome that was :)


Last picture of my 2 y/o!


With the request to, "take a picture of my foot, Mom!"


After she woke to the birthday song, it was present time!









Flying off to breakfast. 


Milk is her favorite food. 


And pancakes. 


It was a great third birthday - and good news! That magic tantrum switch clicked on right on schedule. My new hashtag for her shots is #threeisathriller - because surviving this year will be a thrill! 

Three is such a mash up of tantrums of independence and awesome milestones. It's such a ride of highs and lows, it's sure to be a trip!
