HAPPY 6TH BIRTHDAY BRYCE!!!

(he ended up choosing a smoothie instead of banana split or birthday cake...this picture was AFTER he enjoyed his Smoothie King smoothie)

Bryce decided to do things differently this year for his birthday. Earlier this week I was at Starbucks and he asked if he could have coffee on his birthday. I said he could. He tasted it, said it was good and then asked if they had smoothies. So, this morning we went to Starbucks. He got an orange mango banana smoothie. He was very grown up with his Starbucks drink!!

After Starbucks we took a drive. We have been in need of a small trailer (5x8 or 5x10) since we stopped owning trucks. Paul got a third kayak and is going to be getting a fourth (he has figured out he has a better chance of getting to go kayaking if he takes kids with him!!!). He cannot fit all of the kayaks on his Jeep anymore, so he needed a trailer to carry them in. Not to mention all of the other projects we buy lumber for and rig it on top of and inside vehicles, and the times we have to take two vehicles to get things (people in one and whatever in the second). He found a place about an hour and half away, but they close at one on Saturdays. We got a trailer and headed back home.

We saw a Toys R Us where we stopped to eat, so we let Bryce go pick out his present. We have found that for birthdays it is easier to take them to get their gifts than for us to try and pick something for them. After looking at EVERYTHING a couple of times, he chose an airplane lego set and a cargo truck lego set. He and Daddy will be putting that together this evening.

He chose Burger King for lunch, tacos for dinner and opted not to have a cake this year. Instead he wants banana splits for everyone. This is a GREAT option considering how hot it is (inside and out).

Tomorrow we are going to all go to the movies to see Up. We were going to go today, but did the trailer thing because they are not open on Sundays. I guess the movie can be a birthday/Father's Day outing.
