Evan's 9th Birthday


On Friday my little boy turned 9. The night before we go through several traditions like kissing an eight year old for the last time, getting eight kisses from an eight year old for the last time, and the list goes on. Then the following morning we get to see if it is the same to kiss a nine year old. I'm not sure how long I will be able to milk this, but we keep trying and for now it still works!
For his birthday this year he got a Nerf gun ammo vest, some groovy shoes he had his eye on, a couple of water guns and water balloons (for his upcoming party) money and clothes from his grandparents. After opening his presents it was time for school.
In the evening we went to the club for dinner and a swim. Then since I was on duty to supervise the Youth Club, Evan was allowed to join. He is not quite old enough to join the Youth Club, so he was excited to be able to see what goes on every Friday night. This week was movie night. He was far more excited to try all the other activities like, soccer, pool, fuseball, and of course the candy station.
The following morning we again headed to Tutong Beach. As I told you before we went there last week. But since it was Evan's birthday he could choose what he wanted to do and suprising he chose to go quadding again. This time I remembered my camera. We had a great time wandering the beach which was completely empty except for us.
Next weekend we have Evan's actual birthday party planned. We have a huge bouncy castle and an inflatable waterslide rented for the party. As well we are planning a huge waterfight. I'm sure it will be fun, and very chaotic! More on that to come...
