Ezra's Birthday, a breakdown...

Hello, friends! 

Monday was Ezra's birthday! If you haven't see the birthday song I wrote for him, it's right here. 

One of the things about Ezra's birthday being when it is (July 5) is that it's right next to a big holiday for Meg's family. They LOVE Independence Day. This year was especially special because Meg's uncle who died in Vietnam was having a bridge dedicated to him and it was the last time Meg would see her grandma's house before it was sold. So, we went up to SoDak to celebrate. 

At first, Ezra was not pleased about being in SoDak on his birthday but after the day he had, maybe he'll reconsider. Let's break it down: 

9:00am - Sleep in and wake up when he wants, in SoDak

10:00am - Play in the lake by Meg's parent's house with his cousins

11:30am - Lunch from Subway, his most favorite restaurant in the world right now

1:00pm - Leave SoDak for Omaha; starting with "resting time" in the car

2:30pm - Free to use his tablet for the rest of the trip to Omaha

5:00pm - Get home and unpack the car so we can load it up again to go to dinner

5:30pm - Dinner at Yummy Crab, which is a boiling crab type restaurant in Omaha

6:30pm - Go fishing at the lake next to the Yummy Crab, promptly catch 2 fish and 2 crawfish

7:30pm - McDonald's sundaes on the way home

I don't know about you but that sounds like a pretty spectacular birthday! I don't know if we'll be able to replicate it like that every year but this year sure was a blast. 

Have an excellent day!
