My little man is obsessed with penguins.  He has been ever since I can remember.

Patrick surrounded by his penguins. And yes, those are his bed sheets!

We have penguins in all shapes and sizes.  Including full on flannel penguin bed sheets, pajamas, necklaces, cups, plates….you name it, we’ve got it.

When he grows up, he…surprise, surprise…wants to work with penguins.  And be a BMX biker.  He’s confident he can do both.

So my goal this summer is to get him to actually touch a penguin.  That is what he wants for his birthday.  I figure with SeaWorld opening a new penguin exhibit, and our road trip to Chicago with the Aquarium, I can make this happen.

My question now…will the power of social media help make this happen?

I mean…look at this boy – he is very loyal, very gentle and very loving to all of his penguins.

Patrick found a giant penguin in Sanford around the holidays.

I tried making penguin cakepops at Christmas.

So….many…penguins….
