Haden spent the day on the beach in Costa Rica today. That means the Gulf, Atlantic and Pacific have been knocked out over the last three Sundays.

Looks lke cousin Henry has also come along for the trip.

Haden is off on another trip this week. We will be posting more as soon as we get better internet.

Haden took a ride out to the pond in his new wagon today.

Haden decided that we better go check out the Atlantic Ocean since he did the Gulf last Sunday. Here he is on Cocoa beach:

The trip to the beach really bleached out Haden’s hair.

Haden went over to Siesta Key for some beach time.

Haden had his first lollipop today.

Haden and Mom had to go over to the Bucs stadium today to try out our new seats.

Haden spent a bit of time on a train yesterday as it was National Train Day. Here he is pondering the fate of passenger trains in the States.

Just to set the story straight -

“Cinco de Mayo is a regional holiday in Mexico, primarily celebrated in the state of Puebla, with some limited recognition in other parts of Mexico. The holiday commemorates the Mexican army’s unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.

Cinco de Mayo is not “an obligatory federal holiday” in Mexico, but rather a holiday that can be observed voluntarily.

While Cinco de Mayo has limited significance nationwide in Mexico, the date is observed in the United States and other locations around the world as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride. A common misconception in the United States is that Cinco de Mayo is Mexico’s Independence Day.”

Haden took us to the friends and family pre-opening party at the new IKEA in Tampa today. We then went to his friend Lauren’s first communion party.
