Day 5 Saturday

In the morning I ran Race for the Cure with my mom. We took it at a slow jog (about 12 minute miles) and we were proud to finish without having to walk! We've done it at least 10 times in the past. It's our tradition each June.

In the afternoon we had Calvin's birthday party with some buddies from school. I made a scavenger hunt where they had to read simple clues (like Dad cooks outside here. - the grill). The kids read them (they all just finished kindergarten), went to the place where small prizes were waiting, and then got the next clue. We also had races outside, ate cake and ice cream, opened presents, and drew on the driveway with chalk. Two hours is a long time with 5 and 6 year olds!

Finally, we took off for my parent's cabin on the Mississippi River, just north of LeClaire for a bonfire! Busy Saturday.

Comment question? What's your favorite birthday memory?
