Boston turned 6 on August 12. Before breakfast, he got a call from his Grandparents in Oregon and they told him to open his present. He was ecstatic to find Super Mario Galaxy 2 and since we had just bought him the shirt, that was his attire for the day. The game was his enjoyment for the morning (and has been nearly every day since).
We had his friend party on his birthday and then went out to dinner at Boston's Gourmet Pizza and then camped in the backyard as a family. He was happy all day long.
He couldn't decide on a set theme for a long time, so we came up with this one together:
For the party, we played yard games based on the 3 video games from the invitation: Angry Birds (built a cup towers and then used sling shots to knock them over), Plant vs Zombies (Shot cardboard zombie with water cannon until it fell over), and Super Mario (obstacle course).
Between those we swam and jumped and swam, swam, swam. Thanks to my sister and one of my friends, there was always a lifeguard on duty.
The cake was a round swimming pool with the characters floating in rings.
Here we are camping at night. We were looking at a star chart and trying to spot the constellations.
Happy Birthday to our big smile, outgoing, video-game loving, ninja/boxing Boston! I can't believe he's starting First Grade!!! It's been a wonderful 6 years!!
