When Jon got off work we suprised Jackson by heading off to OpryMills and the RainForest restauraunt for dinner. He was very excited.
Since they weren't busy and he was the birthday boy, he got to choose where he wanted to sit. He chose by the elephants and we got a great seat.
Unfortuantely, right when we sat down the "thunderstorm" started and the elephants started trumpeting. The twins went crazy. It was so funny and sad at the same time. They would no longer sit in their highchairs so Jon and I had them hanging all over us the entire time we were eating- just like a bunch of monkeys, how appropriate!
Daddy calmed them down by walking around and looking at all the fish. We are really looking forward to taking them to an aquaruim soon!
I look like I have my own little monkey troop, hey wait I do!
Jackson had a great time and even let us tell the waitress it was his birthday. They came out yelling "voooooolcanoooooo" because of the great dessert we ordered and then sang to him. He was so cute about it! Then we amazingly forgot all the germs spreading around and all 6 of us dug into that huge dessert!
Will was loving on or strangling the birthday boy one!
Then our next stop was a place he loves so much and the smell of which makes me quesy: Stingray Reef. He loves this place. He could feed shrimp to these things all day long (and it felt like he did!). Oh yeah, and he smelt like he did! The first one he fed actually bit him, but that didn't stop him!
Luckily, Daddy particiapted with him because I was not up for smelling like that! This place is neat because the things will really come up out of there and splash you like crazy!
What did the other 4 of us do? Ride the merry-go-round, of course! Will rode the first time but was not a fan so this is the second ride with the happy kids.
We stayed there probably an hour and when we finally convinced the birthday boy to leave he informed me that he wants to work there. It was almost like he already did because when new people would come in he talked to every one of them showing them how to hold the food and where to pet them. They all were really impressed by his knowledge, and I was amazed that he has no fear of talking to people, even teaching them! If this child does not grow up to do something with animals I will be beyond shocked.

We really had a great birthday celebration. I even got to buy the kids Easter outfits which is exciting for me! After we left we went to Wally World where Jackson got to pick out a new bike (and we even convinced him to get the cheapest one- yeah us!). He was thrilled to end his birthday riding through the aisles at Walma*rt, every boys' dream!
