Berkeley's Birthday
Berkeley officially turned three today. And even though he has already
had one
birthday party,
he basically had another one today (and he'll have a third on Sunday).
Berkeley made this observation for himself this morning, after having
opened a gift he received from Grandma and Grandpa:
"This is my second birthday Grandma.", Berkeley flatly stated.
In the morning we met Jess/Rees and Jen/Ky/Taylor/Ryan/Heather at the
Murray City outdoor pool. The main pool area is very kid friendly; it
gradually slopes from the pool edges to a maximum depth of about
3 feet. But the main attraction, at least for our kids, was the
open-air water slide that descends down about 50-ft of winding curves.
We were at the pool about 2½ hours and probably spent 2 of those
hours on the slide... Berkeley and Eliana just couldn't get enough.
It was loads of fun.
After an afternoon nap, we spent the evening and a nice dinner over at
the Dave/Heather Barnes home. Dave and Heather's eldest son, Braxton,
shares a birthday with Berkeley (Braxton turned 7 today). The kids
took their turns hitting a piñata and playing on an inflatable
slide and inflatable obstacle course (rented for an earlier party
Braxton had with his neighborhood friends). After a gift exchange
between Berkeley and Braxton, we sang for Berkeley and he blew out
some candles on a cake.
