Birthday Party Time

October 22, 2011, Saturday - A beautiful day today with the temperatures in the upper 60's. We are celebrating Nathan's 7th birthday at Kersey Valley Maize Adventure. Nathan just loves rocks, minerals and gems. He decided to have a Gem Mining Party again. The kids enjoyed shifting through the dirt and water to find the perfect gem. Then we celebrated with a brownie soccer ball cake and Nathan opened presents. Thank you to Uncle Cameron and Chad for blocking the wind and getting the candles lit. I was not sure we were going to get them lit.
The kids then enjoyed taking off their shoes and socks and bouncing, jumping, falling down on a huge inflatable pillow. I think because the weather was so nice and because Kersey Valley added a zipline there were tons of people. The kids had to stand in line for the pillow, but the wait was not too long and they were able to jump twice. They also enjoyed digging for dinosaur bones.
It was a great way to celebrate turning 7. Happy Birthday, Nathan! We love you!
