Kenya's 12th Birthday Weekend


Kenya's 12th birthday was this weekend. She decided to have a slumber party for a few friends. Friday night Rich picked her up with 2 of her girlfriends, he took them to dinner, and then they headed home.

Nicholas sat patiently waiting way past his bedtime. He was way too excited that his sister was coming and that she was having a birthday party to sleep. No, Kenya did not have a Nemo party just like Nicholas. Nicholas feels it is 100% necessary to wear a party hat to all parties especially while singing "Happy Birthday" so he wore this hat all night, sang "Happy Birthday" over and over and pretended to blow out many many birthday candles.

The next morning everybody went to breakfast and the mall, picked up another of Kenya's friends then we all headed to the beach.
The girls mostly hung out near the water.

Nicholas went down the slide about 80 bazillion times.

The girls took some photos

Nicholas wasn't a fan of the photo sessions.

Saturday night was quiet at home.
Sunday morning we got up, did breakfast, then Nicholas got ready to drive us down to the beach again. He put on some Chapstick to protect his lips from the sun (that's the huge glob of red gunk you see on the side of his face).

We walked a bit then all went for ice cream. Nicholas was disappointed they didn't have "yellow" ice cream so he settled for chocolate.

Can you see his wheels spinning, thinking, there has to be a better way.

And here it is, face first to the bowl.

We headed home and the girls played a few games



Finally, everybody said their goodbyes and headed home. It was a nice weekend, I think they all had a good time. After everybody left, Nicholas went to bed early and I sure know I was exhausted.
