HA! Michael turned 36 this year! And, as it was on a Sunday this year, it was a great excuse to make it a birthday weekend! We began with taking the kids to the aquarium. Once upon a time Michael wanted to grow up to be a Marine Biologist. We both grew up on the coast in Southern California and we LOVE all things beach….especially all the beautiful sea life. He hadn’t been to the aquarium out here yet, so that’s where he took us!
We celebrated more of his birthday on his actual day. Unfortunately for him, it’s not just his birthday in our family. My sister Kenna’s husband Brad, has the same birthday! So all the family on my side got together on Sunday to celebrate their birthdays…..along with ALL the rest of the people on my side’s May/June birthdays. I felt a little bad because it didn’t seem as special because of it, but we tried to jazz it up a bit.. Scott was adamant…. “I want to buy my Dad a big Dad water gun so we can play.” Jared and Gavin had the same idea I had; a tablet. Michael has been eyeing a Prime Asus Tablet for some time now and he never gets himself something nice whenever his incremental bonus comes around. So…..perfect excuse for me to indulge him! And…..he loved it! It was fun to watch his face light up as I hand the box to him. He totally knew as soon as he held it. I had great satisfaction at the look on his face when he opened it…..fun!
Regrettably, Michael had to travel for work the week following, and he spent Monday through Thursday in Texas. We tried to do a BBQ for his B-Day with the Brown side of the family, but it hadn’t worked out, so we rescheduled for the Friday after! That was fun too! We had Maren and her family over, and David. My sisters Kenna & Kelly came too with their families. At first it was crazy –windy…..not exactly ideal BBQ weather, but that didn’t stop the kiddos from breaking out the water balloons. It died down in time to put on another outdoor movie! Love Summer! Happy Birthday my love!
