Collin has been waiting to turn six pretty much since he started kindergarten last fall. So today was a big day. We had a pool party with six of his friends to celebrate. (One of them being his little brother; I often need to remind Collin that he is his best friend.) After finger painting with sunscreen, we ate this delicious sandcastle birthday cake. Next, we jumped in the pool for some games and fun in the sun.
We had family over in the evening for Collin's favorite dinner, Hawaiian haystacks. Dad gave Collin a compass, head lamp and camel pack for hiking in the mountains this summer. I gave him a tennis racket and tennis balls. He also got lots of great pool toys and a snow cone maker from the grandparents.
Thanks to all who helped make this a fun day for Collin. Happy birthday Collin! Love you buddy.

Oh, man!!!! Happy Birthday, Collin! April, would you be willing to have us visit on the 11th and 12th of July? Then we will be heading to Sarah's house for a few days and then on home to Oregon. Are you guys still planning a trip out here?
Milly: "What!!!! Is that really sand?"
IMPRESSIVE cake, you are so amazing! Is that coconut frosting? Sounds like a fun birthday party! Tell Collin Happy Birthday from us late! And give him a big hug from us and a high five from Rawl, who likes to give really hard high fives. So sorry we didn't call. Milly loved it when Collin called her on her birthday.

I'm glad we could be there a few days before the big day. I gotta say April-- you've got cake skills! Did you see that one coming? What a fun life for your kids!
