Happy Birthday, Cannon!

Believe it or not, my sweet first baby turned 13 today!  Happy birthday Cannon!

We asked Cannon for weeks what he wanted to do on his birthday but he was a bit indecisive, well he knew what he wanted to eat, but not what he wanted to do.  Which, come to think of it, may be a sign that he really is a teenage boy.

 We started the day with biscuits and gravy and then had a scavenger hunt for his gifts.

In the afternoon, since it was such a beautiful day, we went down to Kopachuck State Park and sat on the beach for a while soaking in the rays while the little guys played in the water.

 

That evening we were joined by our Okinawan friends, Jess, Ben and Claire Bailey.  They just moved to Washington 3 days ago so they came for dinner.  We enjoyed a yummy meals of ribs out of the deck topped off by red velvet cake.

Happy birthday to my sweet son!
