Ethan is 3!

Ethan turned three today! We had strawberry shortcake for breakfast, where he requested that we "sing my cake song!" We opened some great presents from Aunt Jessie and Grandma Deb, and Great Grandma Bowden sent a mini keyboard with a handle that Ethan played with for what seemed like the entire 3 hour car ride to Portland, Maine.

We arrived just after lunch, Nate dropped us off at the hotel then continued to drive 2 more hours up to Bangor do do some stuff for work. Ethan and I went across the street to the children's museum for a few hours. He had a blast playing with the water, climbing up a fire truck and a tree house, and most of all playing in the cockpit of the space shuttle. Here are some pictures.

Playing in the space shuttle! He kept shouting 1 2 3 liftoff!


After the children's museum we went to the art museum next door. Ethan loved climbing the stairs most of all, I enjoyed looking at the paintings. It was a very big day!
