Alec could not wait for his party day. He has been nine for almost a month now, but he wanted to have his party at the lake, so we had to wait for the weather to be warm enough.
Once again, Sherrie (aka "the cake lady") made another marvelous creation for Alec's birthday. He wanted a Star Wars: The Clone Wars theme and she provided a cake to go along with it. It tasted even better than it looks, if you can believe it. Thanks. Sherrie, for the marvelous cake.
Alec had a tough time blowing out the candle. It was so windy, the candle would not stay lit. We had to light it three times before he actually got to blow it out.
Notice, Brandon's face as Alec opens a card with money in it.
Alec received this very cool book from the Duley family. It is full of interesting, amazing, and gross facts. That is a perfect book for a boy.
This present was from us and Alec had to see it wrapped for a few hours and it was bugging him so much that he did not know what was inside. He was thrilled with the gift and couldn't wait to put it together. We made him wait until we got home.
All the boys enjoyed playing with their light sabres. We had planned on playing light sabre tag, but the boys had more fun playing their own games with the light sabres. They also enjoyed riding on their scooters. There were about 8 scooters at the party and they all had fun racing each other around the circular drive near the campsite. The girls hung out in the camper to get away from the boys and had a marvelous time. They told me I was the "coolest Mom ever" when I made the boys get out of the camper and leave the girls alone.
After cake and ice cream, opening presents, and the games, I gave all the kids a kite and everyone covered the hillside to fly the kites. It was a beautiful sight to behold. The wind was so high that it was very easy to get the kites up in the air. Even the little kids had no problem flying the kites. What a great day!
Isn't that beautiful? There were over 24 kites flying at one time, but I couldn't get them all in the same picture.
Taking time to feed the ducks. After the party, some of the kids went to the lake to share some of the bread with their new "friends." These ducks kept wandering up to our campsite knowing that we would get out some bread and feed them. They came up every 4 hours or so.
