The Birthday Boy

Tyler's 6th birthday was Friday.  Grandpa decided to surprise Tyler by making a trip to Mountain Home.  And I decided to surprise Grandpa by inviting myself along.

We met Tyler in the driveway when he got off the bus from school.  He was pretty excited.  Our first item of business was lunch, which was hamburgers and frostys at Wendy's.  We went home to watch "A Bug's Life" during Tanner's nap.  Which was followed by a trip to the candy store.  Grandpa does birthdays up right!

We had dinner at a Mexican restaurant and hurried home to be back for the arrival of a "special visitor."  You might be wondering who the special visitor might be, when Grandpa and Aunt Traci had already arrived.  The Easter Bunny?  No.  The Bishop?  Double no.

The special visitor was a fire engine!  And it stopped at the house!  And Tyler and Bryce got to put on plastic fire hats and get buckled into the front seat!  With their Mom and Dad, Grandpa, Tanner and Traci in the back of the cab.  The Birthday Boy even got to tell the driver when to turn right or left.  It was pretty awesome.  

The fire truck dropped us back off at the house for presents and Oreo cake.  What a day!
