Kaiden is SIX!

Again we had great weather for Kaiden’s birthday. It seems every year the sun just shines on him.

Happy Birthday Kaiden!!!
The 5 things I love most about you:
1. You are so very caring. If I am having a bad day, you want to make me feel better.
2. You are so smart, oh so very smart. What shall we ever do!?
3. You love animals, especially cats… and horses and dogs.
4. You are sensitive and love to hug and snuggle.
5. You are inquisitive. Thank God for the internet to answer all your questions!

If I had to guess today... you will either become a vet or an inventor.

To celebrate, we had a cookout and a few friends over: Cole, Lorelei, Jacob, the Ashleys, and the Quennivilles. There was a water slide and a sprinkler which the kids enjoyed. The next day, my parents took Kaiden and Kael to the Portland Children’s Museum. The boys LOVE that place!

Here are some photos of those wonderful memories:

Then after dinner we had time for sparklers on the beach, a taffy watching trip to Goldenrod, lots of playground time downtown, a visit to the Wiggly bridge, trolly rides, and Brown's ice cream.

Oh how I love my boys. They were both so good this trip. If only daddy owl could have joined us. Vacation time during the summer is hard to sacrifice.
Can't wait until next year's York vacation!!!
