He woke up bright and early to do his mountain bike race.Came home to some phone call birthday wishes, opening presents, and cinnamon buns for lunch. He barely had time for a shower before we headed out to do the Pioneer Day Fun Run. He opted out of the 5K after doing his 10 MILE bike ride and did the 1 mile with all our kids instead.
(Mr. T actually did really well and was WAY ahead of the rest of the family... such a phenomenal thing to see after all his leg and ankle issues and surgery!)
The Toddler gave up after a bit - it was also 90 degrees which is VERY HOT for us here. He drove in the van taking pictures with me!
The proud participants sporting their t-shirts.We abandoned the other festivities... since tradition holds that we visit a beach on Mr. Man's birthday. We drove up a mountain (gorgeous drive) to Fairy Lake - and like fools dragged our sand toys and swimming suits only to find rocks and freezing cold water. It was beautiful though. We would have stayed longer, if there hadn't been a kajillion black flies swarming and biting everywhere. Since we are reading "Fablehaven" I told the kids to imagine they were fairies (since we were at Fairy Lake).
After a while we headed home to the comfort of our own backyard to enjoy the sandbox and hot tub - our personal beach!Mr. Man requested brats and broccoli salad and instead of his traditional cherry cheesecake, he opted for sinful brownies. This chocolate lover didn't argue. After the kids were bathed and in bed we enjoyed a movie together.
I think he had a pretty nice relaxing day, doing many of the things he loves to do and we felt lucky that he wanted to spend the day with us - his favourite people.
Love you babe. And you know how much I like older men :)
