Surprise Birthday & Theater Camp

 Alex's birthday was last week and I threw him a surprise party!  We had around forty guests at our local brewery.  It was a success!  He had a blast and I was able to finally meet a lot of his curling friends.
       
   
I got Alex a curling birthday cake from Edible Art Cake Shop.  It was the best cake I have ever had!
    
     
    
    
        
       
           
Alex blew out his birthday drink candle.
    
The kids were in theater camp this past week.  Six months ago when I signed the kids up for camp, Ethan was still into unicorns.  I put in him in Unicorn Universe theater camp.  Apparently, unicorns are no longer cool.  He was also the only boy in this camp :/.  Regardless, he did have a fun week and made friends.  The kids each had a performance on Friday.
    
    
    
      
     
     
Harper's camp was Jungle Book.  It was great!
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
      
      
     
Harper always makes friends.

Camp and Tea

The kids had martial arts camp this week.  It was an all day camp with tons of activities.  They loved it!
     
Lulu wanted to go to camp too!
    
    
    
     
     
I wasn't on call at all last week so I was able to enjoy evenings at home.  We took Lu out back to sit with us on the patio.
    
    
We took a couple walks around the neighborhood.
    
We fed corn to Goose Goose.  We have known this family of geese for years.
    
        
     
Harper started leash training Lu.
     
On Saturday, Harper attended a birthday party so Ethan and I made key lime pie.
       
It was delicious! 
    
   
Harper had a great time at Amelia's birthday party.
    
     
      
       
Alex got a Japanese grill for his birthday so we had to try it out!
    
      
It was fun!
    
Our birthday gift to Michele was tea at the Ballantyne Hotel with the girls.  We went on Sunday and had a blast.
