Gavin's Birthday Party

Our Boondocks annual tradition for birthday parties was certainly continued this year for Gavin's 12th birthday.  We were greeted by a beautiful day to get in the water and splash and spray each other (and some strangers) on these bumper boats.

We also had a fierce golf competition going...as mom can get strangely competitive in random sports or activities...one of which is apparently putt putt golf.

This year was the first year that Gage was both old enough and tall enough to ride in his own go kart which was quite the upgrade for him!  Here is Tara and the kids coming from behind her as they race around the course.

These pictures are actually from the weekend after where we met family at Adventure Golf to do essentially the same thing as we did at Boondocks earlier in the week.  It's a bit more upscale at this place, though.  Here is Gage and Gavin taking off onto the course.

What made the weekend a bit more exciting was that I had just been diagnosed with pneumonia and was in quite the world of hurt.  In fact, Bob had picked me up separately to pick up my new prescription medicines to get back on track.  Jackie and Karl and the cousins drove down from the mountains we had a fun gang to run around the golf course with.  Gavin had a great time!
