Today we celebrated our son's birthday in town. Samuel will be turning 13 on the 8th, but due to the fact that his favorite cousin RJ, would not be able to attend a party on the date of his birth, we had an early event.
.
We took him and his sister's to a family play center called "Lokomotion." It is a place with all kinds of arcade games as well as a go cart track. It was a blast! On the track, I had Aubrey (6) with me, who cried until we hit the first turn, then it was nothing but excitement for her the rest of the race. She's a speed freak! Josie (8), rode with Jenny, RJ's girlfriend, and being the lightest team, proved hard to catch. Sam took his mother as a passenger and he totally scared her to death. It was funny! RJ wound up in a cart by himself and he was the target to beat. Kimmie, our neice kept little Katrina on the side of the track as a cheering team.

The whole event proved to be a big success. Afterwards, we went across the hiway to "Golden Corral" and had a fine supper, where RJ alerted the wait staff of Sam's birthday and they all came out, announced his birthday, then sang to him as other customers joined in. It was very fun, and even though embarrased, Sam did enjoy it.
.
After eatting, We went out to the parking lot where RJ and Jenny gave Sam his presents. Jenny gave him a digital camera, which he thought was very cool. RJ though, gathered up all kinds of stuff from around his house and filled a box full. He gave everything from almost used up cologne, to bacon bits. It was a blast, and Sam enjoyed every bit of it. In the bottom of the box he found two racing games for the PS2, which really got Sam's attention.
.
Overall, it was a very enjoyable day for us all, but Sam was especially excited.
.
A very good day indeed!
