Evan's 17!

Evan's birthday was June 9th. Was also a day of finals - so not a perfect birthday at least not until that day of finals was over. What did Evan want for birthday dinner? Burger King - so he could get Pokemon cards in Kid's Meals!


We all participated by ordering a Kid's Meal and handing over our own cards.





A simple cake - and he tried to blow out the candles from the other side of the table.



And he was successful! Well, after a few tries...

A big package came for Evan and Claire a week before, from Grandma and Grandpa Hardester.


What is it? A soda pop maker! And are they excited about it? Yes! And did they start playing with it right away? Yes! And did Kathy warn them "I am not cleaning up any mess made by this thing..."? Yes! And within the next 5 seconds was there a big mess? Yes!






Go figure - the little liter bottle has to be screwed in tight before you press the button to put the CO2 in. Thank goodness, it was only water.

What a fun gift. I never connected that Ryan was born on our anniversary. 36 this year. We both forgot, Bruce was reminded by a camp inspector who remembered Bruce saying that this camp inspection was going to be on his anniversary. He called me as soon as he was reminded.
