TJ's Birthday: Part 1

It's an important day today. We made sure little T knew it was her Birthday. We started with wishing her Happy Birthday of course! Then we watched a Dora Birthday and a couple of Daniel Tiger shows. Then it was time for the real fun to begin!

I had noticed an abundance of playgrounds in Corozal during previous trips, but with other errands to run, we never had time to visit but one. She really enjoys the slides, and I wanted her to know every slide in Corozal. I tucked away a plan to make a day of visiting all the playgrounds. Today, that plan came to life.

First we picked up the rental car, and TJ picked up a puppy. Look at her little heart melt...

I decorated the car and gave her a balloon.....
Which. She. Loved.

We stopped right away when we reached Corozal, so we could sit on this gorilla.

and this elephant.

Welcome to this episode of "shows you how much I know"

Here, at the first playground, she refuses to go down the slide. 

"I'm fine here, thanks!"

We showed her a smaller tunnel down below. "Now Dad do it," she says.

It was nearly 12:00 so we decided to check out a place we had never noticed before this trip. It's called "Blue's." Turns out, it was the perfect place for TJ's birthday lunch. 

There were lots of slides.

and a trampoline.

The food was alright. We paid for the playspace and the breezy seaside view.

After lunch, Mateo had some fancy Rover interview, so TJ and I went to the town square and went down the biggest swirly slide in Corozal! over, and over, and over...

There was a big fountain in the middle of the town square. The only way I could keep her out of it was to say we were going to go swim in the ocean. 

Ah, the bargaining we must endure.

After all that, she was pretty tuckered out. So rather than expending energy on any more playgrounds, we decided to treck back to Orange Walk for some famous tacos.

THE END. (stay tuned for more after Sunday, April 10th)
