Noah's Birthday Adventure

Noah's birthday is next week, but we're not having his party until the first weekend of October. We decided to have an adventure day today and surprise him with a party at one of our favorite parks with just the 5 of us. We blind-folded him, loaded up the 'hamburger' cake and presents and the journey began.


If you've ever seen the movie, Bridge to Terabithia, you'll remember the bridge that eventually led into the deep forest. We've found a park here that reminds us of that movie that even has a suspension bridge. We ended up having to put a pillow case over Noah's head and Elizabeth led him to the picnic area where we ate burgers, cake and opened presents.


He didn't realize the candles were the kind that would light back up after being blown out... these were a hit!!

Presents....




You can read 'the gift' post below and hear about the Six Flags tickets (thanks Josh and Robin). We decided it would be fun to cut out 6 flags, put them each in a separate envelope and then wrap all the envelopes together. It was so fun to watch all 3 of the kids figure out what the six flags represented!! Here's Noah figuring it out...



The bridge....




Thank you SO much, God, for days like these...
