9, Nine, IX

Happy Birthday, Preston! We had a fun birthday for Preston. It was the first year we’ve not had a friend/family birthday bash at home with games, water slides, & kids running everywhere. The lack of a backyard forced us to go to plan B. Preston wanted to go to a place called Incredible Pizza, which is like Chuck E Cheese, but for a slightly older crowd. When we got there it was a zoo! Who would have thought that so many people would want to go to a place like that on Labor Day. My sister pouted & refused to go in so she left. After she was gone we decided the crowd was not for us either and scrambled to find plan C. We decided just to go out to eat then mini golfing. My dad threw his fit when we said we were going out to eat so he left. Those two are exactly alike. Neither "get" that sometimes you have to go with the flow. Anyway, Preston picked Salt City Burger - Yummy! And after eating we went to Mulligans for mini golf. My dad decided to rejoin us for golf and met us there. We had a great time! I have promised Preston next year he can have a sleepover with friends, something he has wanted to do for a few years, and he doesn’t have to invite his brother. I had better start mentally preparing now for a house full of 10 year old boys! Happy Birthday, buddy. We love you!
