Evan started the day off with donuts for breakfast. Then we headed out early to go get Evan's birthday present. Shawn and I wanted to buy him a bike, but we wanted to let him pick it out and try it first to make sure we got him the right size.
After he picked out his bike, we headed to Hawaiian Falls. It's a smaller water park just down the street from us. We've never been before, so we were all excited to try it out. We got there right when it opened at 10:30 and grabbed a few chairs right by the main kids area. The kids played there for a bit before we hit up the few slides they were tall enough to ride. They were slides that you rode on with tubes. Shawn and Evan rode together and Em and I rode together. They were pretty fun! We also hit up the lazy river and the wave pool. I think the wave pool may have been Evan's favorite part. We stayed for about 2.5 hours before heading out. We could have stayed longer, but it was starting to get a bit more crowded and the kids had done everything at least twice but now.
Evan requested Whataburger for lunch, so that's what we did. We picked it up and brought it home to eat. Then Evan passed out for a 2.5 hour nap! We finally woke him up so he'd sleep that night. Guess the water park wore him out!
After nap time, we took the kids over to the trails that run between our neighborhood and the one next to ours so Evan could try out his new bike and Em could ride her scooter. We followed that up with some time at the playground before heading out to a new restaurant to have a late dinner.
We finished up the night with cupcakes and ice cream at home. I think Evan had a pretty good 5th birthday!
