Happy Birthday Camden

When celebrating a birthday in our house we tend to make it a big deal...not just the milestone of turning a year older but celebrating the last day of the year we outgrow. This year for Camden's birthday we spent the day our on the boat and had a family picnic in the park...Camden rode a roller coaster for the first time...BY HIMSELF!!! I was a nervous wreck until I saw his face and realized he was ENJOYING every minute of it!!! You can see the roller coaster in the background of the family picnic photo. Camden also got his first real bloody nose on his last day of being 5. He dived off the aft of the boat and landed nose first on Riley...we had true UPs and DOWNs that day! The small picnic cake for Camden. Riley and I playing with the camera. Riley took this photo...you can see the roller coaster that Camden rode by himself in the background. The Erie Canal where we docked the boat for the night. For Camden's first day of being 6 he celebrated with a handful of friends riding go-karts, eating pizza, enjoing the batting cages and eating chocolate cake!!! A birthday to remember! He recieved lots of lego themed gifts, sports equipment, and Mario gear! All systems complete. Camdens Birthday Cake...I attempted two cakes the night before, but ended up going with a store bought cake because mine did not work out!!! Walmart was great in helping a very stressed Mom with the cake situation on very short notice! Jayden, Max, and Camden Riley and Kimberly The guy that worked at the go-kart place...He was AWESOME!!!! Pretending to blow out candles, since I did not bring the lighter...and it was extremely windy. Batting Cage Kids in Karts
