A birthday and Birmingham Sea Life Centre...

I'm still loving the new tradition of sneaking in balloons the night before a birthday. How exciting is that? Although no one one in this house has got the hint and done it for my birthday yet. 

But there's always next year... *cough cough*

And I can't believe my baby turned five years old. Waaaaah!

This time of year with school and birthdays I feel like life is racing ahead and I want to put my foot on the brakes a little. But it is also an enjoyable time. And so Lucas being obsessed with all things underwater (thanks to Octonauts) we decided to go to the Sea Life Centre for his birthday.

It did not disappoint...

There is this tunnel section where the fishes, sharks and a huge turtle swim over and around you. It was very cool...

The Spongebob in me particularly liked the Jelly fish...

But by far everyone's favourite was the penguins (although I'd much rather see them in their natural habitat, they did not have much space).They were so full of personality...

Happy Birthday Lucas x
