THE PARTY!

Audrey, Annie, and I put together a fun birthday party for Weston. I did some decorations and shields, Annie made the cake, and Audrey is the expert, scavenger hunt/activities planner! Weston wanted a "Roman Soldier" theme- ha. We did the best we could ;) It was especially fun to have cousins there together for the activities. It was a crazy long evening, and then the Simms still needed to pack and load to be ready to travel on Sunday.

Here is the list of activities for the scavenger hunt- (all of the clues were on a qr code and taped around the house.)
1. Bunk room fort with "red solo cup" wall building.
2. Building a cookie Colosseum, with virtual reality head gear.
3. Jousting match.
4. Crescent moon, Oreo cookies on your face.
5. Volcano eruption.
6. Paint ball war with shields.
Then pizza dinner, and gifts, and cake.
(Get ready for photo overload- I took tons of pics.)

  

THE BAPTISM

Weston turned 8 years old in July and they waited to have his baptism at our church in Kerrville. That was Saturday morning, August 11, at 11 am. It was the Simms, us, the Andersons, the Simmons, and bro Cruz. Afterwards we went out for lunch, at a Mexican restaurant there in Kerrville.

THE POOL

Of course after the Simms got to our house, the main event was the pool. And games, and food- lol. And repacking to head to Oklahoma and then on to CA.

THE FIRST STOP...

... back in the USA, is Chili's :) With an "Owen Fan Club" welcome.

Primary Birthday Treat

This post is completely out of order... but I just saw my pics of my birthday treat for the primary kids this year. A birthday greeting on a Laffy Taffy stick :)
