Gavin's Birthday!

That's my Gavin holding up his seven fingers for his seven years!  My once seven-pound-some-odd-ounces baby is now SEVEN years old!!!!!!  And his little brother is now wearing Gavin's former favorite green monster truck shirt.  How, exactly, did this all happen?

One thing we don't miss around here on birthdays is the free fun pass at Boondock's.  Come rain or snow--and this time it was even a beautiful day for it!--we always look forward to going for the free tokens and fun activities for the birthday boy.  And, of course, we get roped into buying at least one fun thing for the non-birthday brother, too, but it's well worth it for all of the smiles had by all.

The squirty bumper boats are a big hit, and the boys like to soak Mama at every opportunity. 

I always split up the free tokens and then usually buy a few more for some extra fun.  This year we got 50 free tokens when we bought a large pizza, so that was an easy sale for me!  Gage loves the motorcycle rides, though he has about as much fun just sitting on them as paying to play.  Doesn't he look so intense?  And my frugal Gavin (a boy after his mama's heart) watches on because rarely will he choose a game that will cost him more than 2 tokens.  Gavin's also my little scavenger and often finds all kinds of "extra" tokens in odd places.  It's fun to watch the boys having so much fun!
