happy 6th birthday to me!

posted by owen

i turned 6 on sunday! my family planned an entire weekend of fun for me starting with daddy taking everett and me on friday to the driving range to hit some golf balls. on saturday, we went to do my chosen special birthday activity - rock climbing. we found a fun rock climbing place in parker, rock'n & jam'n, and everett and i had a blast.

sunday began with a special birthday breakfast request of baked french toast with chocolate chips, strawberries, whipped cream and sprinkles. daddy then took me just the two of us back to the driving range just the two of us (i got new clubs as one of my gifts!). for dinner, i asked to grill out and play lawn games.

throughout the day, i opened lots of fun gifts. mommy and daddy gave me a new bike and helmet (they actually gave it to me a few weeks early), golf clubs from amma and appa, some neat games from grammie and gampa, and a cool avengers coloring book and new legos from everett and eloise. my friend kathleen gave me a movie gift card and our neighbor, beth, made me a new '6' shirt with a rock climber on it. it was a great birthday and an awesome weekend!

i woke up to our traditional birthday streamers covering my door

thanks beth for my awesome new shirt.

yummy, nothing like a backyard grill out

we all enjoyed a few games of cornhole

of course, as the birthday boy, i went first every time

my birthday dessert request, a root beer float, complete with
homemade ice cream. man, oh man! i want another!
