Collin had his birthday yesterday and his party on Sunday. What a fun time we had going on a hike at Ruffner Mountain for his party. We are also shown and learned about some of the rescue animals. Collin got to hold a real live snake! I couldn't watch but Macy did get a good picture of him. If you are local and want to go on a adventure make sure you check out
http://www.ruffnermountain.org/ they have recently renovated and it is SO nice. The trails are very well marked and good for beginner hikers and kids.There is no fee they just ask for donations to keep the place running. I really look forward to going back with the family.
His presents included a nerf fun, transformer toy, moon sand, skateboard and helmet, Lincoln logs , skateboard ramp, Alabama football, a scooter and some legos. He really racked up and loved it all!
We always let the birthday person pick a meal. Collin picked Japanese for dinner so we tried out a new place in town called Mizu. He had the best time and we sat with the nicest couple. The food was really good and we really enjoyed our family time.
It's hard to believe my baby boy is six years old. He is such a bright spot in my life. He is funny and helpful and so smart. I love to see his brain work, he is learning to read and you can see those light bulb moments in his eyes when he figures out a word, it's priceless. I couldn't be any prouder of him!
