Codys 11th Birthday

What 11 year old asks for a Kayak for his birthday??

Cody has been wanting one for a while now.

I wasn't about to send him rafting down some river by himself

so we bought one for KC too.  The weather was supposed to be

perfect that weekend so we gave them to him a couple days before

his actual birthday so he could enjoy them a bit.

We loaded up and headed to the river so he could try them out.
We dropped them off at the river and we headed down stream to
wait for them.

The pups ran

we played tic tac toe

we hiked

we through sticks in the river

we rode around in the razor

we sat

we got bored

 

It seemed like it was taking them forever to get down the river to us.

 

(this boy cheats at tic tac toe by the way!)

They ended up riding about 5 miles down the river.

 

 

and they loved every minute of it!

When they were done we loaded everyone up and headed back up river.
That would be 2 adults. 3 kids. 4 dogs. 2 kayaks. all in one razor.
Hey, It worked!

 

We let Rylee and Kade try it with Cody for a much shorter distance.

 

We picked Cody up early from school and took him to lunch.

Buffalo Wild Wings - the hotter the wings the better for Cody.

Which I don't get because he can't even handle pepper on his eggs.

I knew exactly what I wanted to do for Cody's cake this year.

I searched around town and the cheapest place I could find

that actually looked decent was for 78 bucks.  For 12 cupcakes!

She let some of their secrets slip so I thought I would save my

70 bucks and make it myself.

I knew he would love it!

Isn't it so cute!

I loved the way it turned out!

He picked to have fajitas and chips and queso.
