Coming Up For Air - AT's birthday

The last month has been busier and more stressful than anytime in recent memory.  Everything sort of hit all at once.  I think we are past all of that now :-)

Lots of things have been going on, so I'll try to do a couple of short updates rather than one long one.  First (well, most recently), AT turned 12!  We had quite a series of celebrations even though we didn't really intend to.  First, we had a small celebration at home on his birthday with donuts (much less expensive than cake and no leftovers!).  He then had to race out to a baseball game.

The next night, CP and I took AT to dinner - his choice.  He choose a local sports bar type restaurant that he had never been to before.  He enjoyed it and so did we.  Afterwards, we were going to head to the beach to just hang out, but it started to drizzle rain.  So, we started trying to think of indoor things to do.  CP mentioned bowling - so off we went.  We bowled three games and got home VERY late.  I didn't have my camera with me, so no photos.  Then, this past Monday, we used our Disney passes and went to Disney for the day.  AT had heard about the opening ceremony at Magic Kingdom and wanted to be there to see it.  (He also wanted to close the park, but I quickly nixed that idea.  We can do that another time!)  

Our friend Mr E went with us while CP, BG and TJ stayed home (their choice).

then AT decided that he wanted to go to San Francisco! So we let  him.
