Birthday

Here are some highlights from last week.

*Hurricane's Birthday - Hurricane had a birthday. Sweetheart and Underfoot were going to Cub Scout day camp. Hurricane and I spent the day together.

We woke up to balloons in his bedroom, did family scriptures, and opened presents from Underfoot (Lego set and platform) and Sweetheart (a bucket of Legos from a young man in our ward.) Hurricane shared Otter Pops with his swim team. Later in the day I surprised Hurricane by taking some of his friends to Dairy Queen for ice cream.

Over the past 6 months, Hurricane has been talking about the birthday party he was going to have. He even made invitation and gave them out. There was no birthday party.

*Gaslight - For Hurricane's birthday, we took the whole family to the Gaslight where the cast performed a parody of Robin Hood.

At the show, they announce birthdays and anniversaries. Hurricane stood on his chair and waved to the crowd. He was happy.

*Girls Camp - I was asked to be the service coordinator for the camp. With the youth leader counselors (YCLs), they planned multiple projects. The projects were trail blazing, sewn hygiene bags, stenciling for the camp, and a clothes drive. I went and stayed Tuesday and returned home for Hurricane's birthday. I went back for Thursday and Friday.

*Cub Day Camp - Underfoot attended his first Day Camp. Sweetheart wanted to go with him. They enjoyed being there doing BB guns, archery, hiking sticks, and other things. Underfoot was very polite and had a great time.

*Memorial Day - We worked during the day. Later that evening, we hosted a BBQ.

*Game - Sweetheart has learned how to play a game and has played often. When I came home on Friday, he was playing with his friends. He likes the challenge.

Be well.
