Ben's 13th Birthday

On April 16 Ben officially became a teenager!  Here is a look at how we celebrated his birthday this year.

Everyone gets to choose where they want to eat for their birthday meal.  This year Ben chose Pasta Nostra. 
 
 He enjoyed penne pasta with Alfredo sauce and shrimp.
 
Afterwards, we made a stop by Glacy for ice cream.  It is a family favorite. Ben chose key lime pie flavor.
 
Next, it was time for his party.  Here is his invitation.
 
He enjoyed an afternoon with friends at a local climbing gym.












 


After spending four hours at the climbing gym, we came home to open gifts, eat supper, and have cake.

We built a fire and roasted hot dogs.

David told Cruz to set up the stools.  This is what he did.

It was a full, fun day from start to finish!
