What a day. Our Wild One turned four, so we celebrated in style. Maybe part of me thought that if we celebrated big enough it might keep his mind off our missing Daddy. I think he had a great time...as we snuggled up at the end of a very long day he whispered in my ear, "Thanks for my burfday, Mommy." Oh, it was my pleasure, sweet boy.
Kicking it off right: balloons, donuts, decorations!
Pretty awesome having your birthday on 7/11 -- Free Slurpee Day!
We headed up to the mountains, to the most picturesque little lake in Evergreen. I could hardly believe the beauty.
Hannah, getting ready for her boating adventure. What her Dad doesn't know won't hurt him, right?
Thumbs up for paddleboating!
And a great afternoon topped off with a little fishing!
All that was left was spaghetti dinner (a Simon request), cake, ice cream and PRESENTS!
Among his great gifts was a play set of camping gear and a kids' lantern. These two set up their own restaurant ("Restaurant Canoe", specializing in chocolate and cheese, according to Si. My kind of place.) They played outside by the light of the moon and the lanterns until almost 10:00. What a fantastic end to a perfect summer's day!
