We spent the weekend at our pond celebrating Brice's 10th birthday. We took the camper, 4-wheelers, dirt bikes, mini bike, bicycles, Power Wheels Jeeps, baby dolls, panda bears, paintball guns.........whew..........lots! It was FUN!!!
Brice didn't have any idea we were doing anything for his birthday. Everything he would suggest, we would try to come up with an excuse for why we couldn't do it. It was getting pretty sad by Friday. He just knew we were going to forget all about making his day special.
Marty took the camper over Friday during school. I told the boys I had to go and see my friend Michele before we went home when I picked them up. That put us on a route right by the pond. When we came over the hill and Brice noticed our camper down in the little valley by the pond he was so excited!!!!
Brice wanted a bicycle and a blow torch for his bday. LOL!!!! Yeah right! Well, he got the bicycle but the blow torch will just have to wait about 10 more years! He also got a new guitar.
Granny Mae came over and cooked fish for all of us for lunch Saturday. Josh and Kit came down from Charlotte to spend the day with us. Kit caught SEVEN fish! No one else caught any! Kristen had the day off and camped out with us all weekend and enjoyed playing with all of the kids. Unfortunately, Cameron wasn't able to join us because he couldn't leave school for the weekend. Hopefully he'll be able to join us the next time. Our friends the Bryants came out and spent some time with us Friday night. We roasted marshmallows and had quite a time! The kids always have so much fun playing together! Lilly LOVED her marshmallow! Brinley and Bailey are always excited to see Shelby, Katie, Fulton and Ethan!
Oooops.....almost forgot. Wear your goggles even when you are just playing around with paintballs. Keith accidentally shot Marty in the eye with one with his slingshot and now he has quite a shiner.
Please note that our pond is extremely shallow right now. The girls were not in danger in the boat. We are very, very saftey conscious about lifejackets.
Happy Birthday, Brice Man! I can't believe you are TEN years old!!! You are such a sweet, kind and caring person and I am sooooooooo proud of you!
