Happy 10th Birthday, Corynn

This is the birthday that never ends! Since Corynn's birthday was on Sunday this year, we started out the celebration on Saturday. It is tradition in our family to let the birthday person pick out where they would like to go to dinner (or in this case, lunch). Every year Corynn chooses Red Lobster, because it is the ONE time a year Chris and I will take her (we are not seafood fans). This year she really wanted Lobster. Where does she get this from?!?After our yummy lunch, we took a walk on Waikiki Beach. It was such a beautiful day, and it was made even more special because Grandma Lambert was able to celebrate Corynn's birthday with us.
On Sunday, we celebrated more with cake and presents. We have a strict rule of no friends on Sunday, but we let Corynn's best friend Mya come over to help us celebrate. Mya gave Corynn a Sea Monkey kit (we'll see how they turn out), Grandma gave Corynn (what else?) a Webkinz, and she got some clothes and a learn to type program from Mom and Dad. Her main present she will get at the Sea Life Park.
On Monday we all headed to the east side of the island to go to the Sea Life Park. Ever since Corynn learned we were moving to Hawaii, she has been wishing to go swimming with dolphins. She finally got her wish for her 10th birthday. The park was pretty, although a little on the small side. We saw turtles, fish, seals, and of course dolphins. Check out these video clips. The first one is of Corynn and Chris hitching a ride with the dolphins. The second one is Chris and Corynn giving the dolphins kisses. The resolution is low to make it easier and faster to view on blogger.

I think Corynn had the best day EVER!!!

SO much fun! That is one place that we didn't go to while we lived there. Looks like we will have to go next visit. I am glad that Corynne had a wonderful birthday eating lobster, spending the day with family, grandma and her best friends, and swimming with Dolphins with Dad. Who could ask for more? Sounds like a birthday always to be remembered.
