Matthew's 4th Birthday

Saturday we celebrated Matt's 4th birthday. We went to the aquarium, then came back for an evening with Matt's Uncle Vic. We opened presents, and then ate what has become the traditional birthday feast of spaghetti and meatballs. We finished off the evening with an ice cream cake from the dairy bar. Matt requested it be "chocolate" and "green," so that's what he got.

Checking out the penguins

What are those? You say they are birds. But they swim?

Checking out the sea lion statue

Not surprisingly, Andy is now signing "fish" and saying "fff" for fish.

Here comes a sea turtle!
