No one actually ate that crepe.
Connor got a new bike!
Nana and Grandpa sent Connor a new LEGO set.
After presents, we packed up the car for a trip to Red Top Mountain.
Connor didn't want to have a birthday party this year. He just wanted to hang out with his friends. When we found out that his friends had picked his birthday for a camping trip, he decided that sounded like exactly what he wanted to do for his birthday.
He didn't really want a cake, either, but he did want a giant cookie.
Papa Kirk and Grandma Ella joined us at the park, too.
We spent the afternoon swimming in Lake Allatoona.
The kids floated on that giant foam island hours.
They also had awesome wrestling matches and gladiator games on it.
They piled up all these rocks on a log in the lake.
We had a lovely campfire potluck dinner.
Most of us made pita pocket pizzas on the fire.
And then it was time for s'mores and watermelon.
I'm not sure if this was about chopping the wood or about feats of strength.
Finally, we met up with some park rangers for a very special night hike.
There was a presentation about animal furs and poop, and then they passed out blacklight flashlights to everyone in the group. We went on a hike in the dark and looked for bioluminescent plants and bugs.
These centepedes were awesome. We saw a lot of them. We also saw one neon green scorpion. It was a lot smaller than I had expected it to be.
And then we all made our way back to the camp for the night.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CONNOR!
