Sam helped me make this birthday cake. He has been talking about his birthday and making his birthday for weeks. McQueen was his choice for weeks as well.
For the birthday we decided to make a special trip with Grandma and Grandpa to their cabin. The kids call cabins "camping houses"
We started the trip with a silly string fight. Kate was really into it. Sam thought it was fun but had trouble.
Getting mom
This turned out as the only picutre of me on the whole trip.
I look forward to this moment for the whole year. Sam was so anxious for his birthday to come. But he was pleased. so pleased. His face showed it.
Then he opened presents. A rock star guitar for him from Kate. He mentioned he wanted to be a rock star when he grows up some time ago, and of course Kate remembered. He loved it and had the rock star stance down right away.
A train from grandma and grandpa. It has been attatched to him since he opened it.
Sleeding on the pine needles. There was no snow at the cabin. But the sleds slid well just on the needles alone.
Early morning hikes. Sam was such a trooped and hiked the whole way. It was a fairly long hike p and down a hill, over rocks and he just hiked happy as could be.
The trip was a fun little retreat. And I felt Sam's day was special and he was happy. I get so anxious in hopes for just that. But the trip was a success and so much fun.
