I had an awesome 4th of July birthday--my first ever! Despite being rained on, I think everyone had a swell timeI had about 20 people for burgers, dogs, pasta salad and of course an ice cream cake. Dad bought a dozen colored balloons, and about 9 birthday balloons. Dad was worried about the wind and made two slip knots to secure the balloons on the deck so they would not fly away. Of course, the slip knots slipped and up and into the trees they went. Dad should have had Uncle Bill the sailor tie the knots.
Everyone that came over was fantastic. And thank you so much for the wonderful birthday gifts. We had Aunt Jennifer, Uncle Bill and Cousin Vaughan, Grandad Ingram, Doug, Scott, Lissie, Ann, Lee Ann, Pavlos, Andreas, Nickitas, Connie, Sean, Harrison, and Georgia. Momma made a wonderful 4th of July gift bag for the kids. We played with gliders, flutes, and other cool really loud noise machines that caused all the parents to cringe.
Overall, It was a fantastic time. Of course Dada had to squirrel away ice cream cake so he could have more later in the night. I guess half the cake was just enough to satisfy his ice cream craving. He must have had a guilty conscience, because the next two days he went biking and running.
I look forward to many more exciting birthdays to come.
Happy Independence Day and look forward to future updates!
