Collin's Birthday!

Grandma, mom, and Collin on the raft together!

This was Collin's birthday week, and to be honest, it started out a little rough.

 His birthday was on Tuesday, but mom started to feel sick on Monday, and it actually got worse throughout the week. Collin's friend Isabelle also started to feel a little sick during the week as well. I feel really bad because we were supposed to go out to eat on his birthday, but we ended up not being able to since mom was not feeling well. He still got to bring cupcakes into his school where all the kids wished him a happy birthday there, which was nice.

 The actual week might have not been good, but what everyone in the family was really looking forward to was when we go out to the lake to celebrate Collin's birthday on the weekend! We usually go out on a Sunday, but this year we decided on going Saturday. Unfortunately, it was very windy and cloudy in the morning and it did not stop the whole day. The people down at the lake let us reschedule though, so we changed the reservation to Sunday afternoon instead of Saturday morning. The next day started with the final soccer scrimmage of the preseason, and then at around noon we left to head down to the lake.

 This time, there was barely a cloud in the sky, and next thing you know we were on the boat. The thing that makes the boat really fun is the tube that you can have people sit on while the boat drags it. We got it early in the year to plan ahead, and Collin really loved it. There were three seats in it, and it was really easy for him to get on and off. We were out there for a whole four hours until we pulled back into the dock, and everybody was wiped out.

 We were not done yet though. Then we went back to our house where Collin opened some presents and we all got to have pizza and some desserts. After that, people were really tired and they started heading out. Collin's birthday week might have started out hard, but it ended very nice. By the end of the day, he hopped right into his bed and was ready to go to sleep!
