The week of Aaron's birthday, we took a family outting with our friends the Mortons. We let the kids play in the sand, had some pizza, and then hit the water! First the girls went out with the dads. Regardless of Lizzie's passive face, she was happy to go out and, from Aaron's story, enjoyed even going out on the tube behind the boat! Then we moms and Jake took the little guys and Sadie out for the second run. Carson and I took a turn on the tube, but he was far happier to drive the boat with his buddy Jack! After we were sun,sand, and boated out, we enjoyed some cupcakes. In my happy foresight, I had thought to bring jammies, so at the van, I towelled the kids, removing water and sand, then got them ready for bed. Hooray for that, because they were all out within five minutes!
On Aaron's actual birthday we went over to his parents' house for swimming, barbequing and cake. Aaron got the added bonus of walking the bottom of the nearby pond with his dad to take out masses of water weeds. Tired and sunburned, he still enjoyed his cake and icecream, even if we couldn't find the number '9' in Gramma's stash of candles.
