Gavin's Golden Birthday

Gavin was very excited about his "Golden" birthday, very fun to turn 8 on the 8th. He started his birthday month with a celebration with the Middendorf cousins, Grandma & Grandpa and aunts and uncles at the Paynesville hotel. Pizza, cake, and swimming.

Gavin turned 8 on a Friday. He stared the day with presents and then headed off to school. I had the day off (as I was leaving on a girls getaway), so I went and had lunch with him and read a book to his class.

To celebrate with friends, Gavin invited some friends to Chuck E Cheeses. They had pizza, cake, and played a bunch of games.

Girls Getaway

I got to get away with Becky, Jolene and Kim for a long weekend Palm Springs, California.  Kim planned the  getaway for us and we learned where we were headed when we checked in at the ticket counter. 'Where are you headed?', my reply 'I don't know, you tell me.' It was such a fun time with my girls. We did a lot of hanging out and some exploring. The only bummer of the weekend was the Vikings loss to the Seahawks in the playoffs. I get to plan next year's trip.
