Natey's birthday was on Sunday, the 17th. He was turning 3. Like many 3 year olds, his favorite thing is trains. So we decided to take him to lunch and to Travel Town to celebrate his birthday and ride the train. He chose his favorite restaurant; Macarroni Grill (ok, so his dad chose HIS favorite) and they even brought him yummy cake which he only ate the whip cream off of!


As we're getting out of the car, I commented that there must be a fire nearby because I could see the ashes and smell the fire. As we were walking in Travel Town, an announcement comes over that everyone must evacuate the park because there is a fire and it's very close. So sad. Poor little Natey. He could see the trains and was so sad that he couldn't go on them; until; he saw the "siresighter" or as most people call it, a firefighter! He thinks those are pretty neat too. So here is the fire in the hill behind Nate and the kids and then a couple more pictures of the fire. We promised him we would come back on Monday. We did, we just didn't have the girls this time! Emalee and Chayse didn't seem to mind that they wouldn't get to ride the little train. Well, I guess Emalee was a little sad. That's something she just loves to do! LOLOLOLO She's so much fun to torture.
