This kid is awesome. I've been taking pictures of him since he was a newborn and every time he just cracks me up even more! He has personality to spare, for sure.

The clouds parted and the rain disappeared for a couple hours so we were able to go to Warner Park's Spray and Play area to celebrate his birthday, and catch a few VERY real smiles in the meantime.

Luke absolutely LOVES the water.  He didn't want to come out of it the whole time we were there!

A few of his cousins and friends were there to celebrate and play with him as well.

He's such a goofball.

This is one of my absolute favorites.  If you could just bottle up pure bliss, I imagine this is what it'd look like!

His beautiful long hair got a little crazy in all that water! lol

Of course he would try to lick the water, why not? I'm pretty sure I died laughing shortly after snapping this shot.

They almost all fit under there!

What's funny, was that he was considerably younger than most of the kids there, but they all wanted to play with him! He's just that much fun to hang out with.  They all goofed off together the entire time.

Um, this is his scary face. Can't you tell?

Luke cried and cried when they turned the water off for cake and presents.  What's the only thing in the world that could mend that broken heart?

Why a John Deere tractor and a mud puddle, of course! Such a good little southern boy:)
