"Kempah, Kempah!" and Mommy's Birthday

Thanks to Ethan (and poor planning?), we have a LOT of birthdays crammed within a week of each other. BUT thanks to Ethan, we now have gotten to celebrate those birthdays with Grandma and Grandpa 2 years in a row! They trekked over to Austin to spend a few days of fun together! And yes, the title of this post is dedicated to Ethan enthusiastically screaming "KEMPAH, KEMPAH!" any time we saw them.

On our first night together, we went out to a yummy restaurant and told the waitress that we really were in fact celebrating THREE birthdays!



On the morning of Ethan's birthday, we went to Mt. Playmore, a great indoor playground that was so fun, I was too busy to take more pictures.

All in ONE video: Gabi has awesome writing skills; Gabi is definitely 3; AND Ethan loves his Grandma!

On the morning of Mommy's birthday, we went to Kiddie Acres, a fantastic toddler-friendly amusement park with rides that the kids actually wanted to ride! Being that the boardwalk at Ocean City was terrifyingly overwhelming for Ethan, these were his very first EVER rides!

With extra time before lunch, we venture to a great playground. Everyone took great turns on the swings:

Grandma most certainly knew how to literally get on the children's level!

On our last morning together, Gabi goes to school and we meet Grandma and Grandpa at the pond for one of Ethan's favorite activities! He certainly didn't mind the extra attention.
