We took a picnic to Rock Bridge State Park and had a nice hike to the Devil's icebox waterfall/cave area. It was a great time. The kids really had a good time, despite Jack getting a splinter (which was a huge deal to him at the time). They have asked numerous times when we can go back to that park. Given that it is less than 3 miles from our house, we are hoping the answer 'soon' will be true.
We ended the day with family pizza and a cookie cake. We invited my parents up for pizza and to help us celebrate in the evening. Given that my dad's birthday was just a week before we also included him on the cookie cake - 'Happy Birthday Dad^2'. Charles doesn't love cake so my mom made him a Mexican seven layer dip which served as his cake, at least for him, the rest of us enjoyed the cookie cake!
Charles and I commented that it was one of our favorite of his birthdays in a long time. I think a large part was the weather, and it was just a great day with family.
