Happy 13th Birthday Daniel!

Tuesday was Daniel's 13th Birthday! He woke up and very kindly, help to make breakfast, while Ryan produced some delicious fruit smoothies. We sang to him and he blew out his breakfast birthday candle. His breakfast was: A large cheese and lentil burrito with a mango and strawberry smoothie. While he ate, Mama told us the story of Daniel's birth. (He smiled real big, when Mama came to the "entrance of the baby into the world")

Danny and his brothers.....

Don't forget Katie.....

Daniel decided that he would like to go to Knotts Berry Farm for his 13th Birthday and so soon after his meal, we found ourselves in front of the park gate. Daddy was so kind and bought us all season passes!!!!

Inside the park, Daniel went with Mama and the little ones to Camp Snoopy, while the rest of us headed for the roller coaster area. Daniel had alot of fun! He rode on his favorite coaster called "Sidewinder." Basically, you are in a car that spins while riding along a track. He loves that ride!
He also went on several rides with the little ones. He was a big help to Mama.

Waiting for our season passes.....

Danny and Joshy on the "Race Car" ride. For a kids ride, it's actually really fun!!!

Later towards the evening, He asked me to ride on one roller coaster with him, "Jaguar." Buckled in and ready, Daniel and I waited as the Ride Attendent checked us and then the ride started. Zoom! We were off! Daniel loved it! He was laughing and screaming! Then as the ride was coming to an end he said"Ashley, can we go again?" I wanted to say yes so badly, but I knew there would be a line. However, the particular car we were in, it's line was empty, and the Ride attendent let us ride again! He was thrilled! Having already ridden it before, Daniel and I began a conversation on the next round. We enjoyed our second ride and it soon came to an end, and that was Daniel's last ride of the day. (Danny is always so much fun to be with! I love you, Danny- Boy!)

Tired and hot, we all headed for the car. Daddy took us to "Wendy's" and bought us a frostie! Yum! We all, needless to say, finished those in no time!

Mama drove us home. We fell asleep within minutes, including Danny!!!

It was a great day! We praise the Lord for giving us him! We love you Daniel! Happy Birthday!

I will praise thee: for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works and that my soul knoweth right well.
