Great Weekend

Saturday was Yogi's birthday party. We had it early because his best friends Alienor and Trip will be out of the country starting next weekend. Trip is going to Sweden where his father is from for 3 weeks and Alienor is moving to Dominica with her family. More on that later.

So we set up an amazing Indiana Jones party with an adventure/treasure hunt that was a huge hit with the kids. Shelley really did an amazing job (with lots of help from Hope and John and Thelma...Sam gave moral support) putting the party together and despite some moments of stress for the grown-ups a great time was had by all.

One of the presents that Yogi got was a boogie board so with this present in hand we went to the beach on Sunday.

After boogie boarding for two hours in the amazing surf (Yogi is a natural - like his dad he loves everything about the water) father and son built a pretty cool sand castle just ahead of the incoming surf. The castle withstood the onslaught for quite a while but inevitably fell to the encoaching tide.

On the way home, to top off an eventful day, Yogi lost his tooth!

That night, Mom and Dad were so tired they almost forgot to let the tooth fairy know about the tooth...if you know what we mean.
