Batman & Bowling Birthday Party

This year for Jackson's 6th birthday party (wow, 6!!!) he wanted to go bowling but also wanted batman. So we put the two together and did a Batman Bowling Party. I made capes for the kids to wear while they bowled and the cake and favors (which I forgot to take a picture of) were also Batman. His birthday falls on a Tues this year (same day he was born), and so many of his friends were busy the weekend before his birthday and we will be on vacation the weekend after so that left two weekends before his actual birthday. He invited 9 friends and all were able to come. I think it turned out well. He had a great time and I believe that all the boys did as well. Jackson was so tuckered out after the party that he fell asleep on the car ride home.

Washington County Fair

Since we've moved to Washington County, each year we've attended the Washington County Fair, though we've never stayed for fireworks. Since we missed the 4th of July fireworks because Jackson was sick he was really excited about going to the fair and seeing the animals, riding the carnival rides and especially watching the fireworks. He was even more excited when we seen his friend Matt and his family there. It was a great family night spent with friends and the fireworks were fantastic!! We'll definitely be back next year.
