Reed's Fifth Birthday Party and Last Jetty Day

Reed chose to have his fifth birthday party at the Civic Club. He invited his best buddies: Ollie, Evan, Jack, Kellan, and Joseph. He wanted to take them tubing on daddy's boat, play on the beach, and have pinata. The weather cooperated and we enjoyed an 80 degree evening with only a handful of other people around. It was the perfect birthday!

 Chris managed to put a strong patch on this "Rescue Flamingo" that we had found abandoned in Lake Washington after SeaFair - it was deflated and a hole where someone had tried to tow it with their boat and it ripped. But now it is good as new and was a popular novelty at the party.

,Reed picked pizza, watermelon, pirate booty and cheetos for dinner. Yum!

  The kids helped fill the pinata earlier in the week (pig-nata), and they were so excited to have a turn to bust it open.

 Reed picked the same Darth Vadar cake as Edison. He was very excited for it!

 

The following afternoon we cruised up to Jetty Island for likely the last day of the 2018 season. We got to meet Meg's brother, Conner, and his two kids: JoJo and Elliot. It was beautiful and filled us up with peace and joy!
