Wow! Zack is 12! Crazy how fast time flies! This year was a weird one for his birthday. Christopher was going to be out of town for his birthday, so we had to do his family celebration a little early. So the Saturday before his birthday we did our family day! Dad of course made Crepes that we had to add candles to. Xander found it very hard to not have the whole spotlight on him. Zack was sweet and set up a candle in Xander's breakfast for him. It stopped the crying!
Zack really wanted to go bowling for his birthday. There aren't a ton of places around here to bowl, but we found one 30 minutes away. Sadly our only family shot was blurry! Dang it! It took us a whole hour for everyone to bowl just one game.
Dad's flight was quickly approaching, so instead of staying at the bowling alley and doing video games, we headed to Costco for a quick birthday lunch and dessert. Why does Costco always have the best food?
We then swung by the house, did a quick birthday riddle party, got some awesome new tires for his motorcycle, grabbed Dad's luggage and dropped him off at the airport for his 2 week trip around the world.
On Zack's actual birthday I made him a breakfast fit for a king! Bagels, eggs, hash browns, and chocolate milk. Three hours later I picked him up from school for lunch. We went to Panda Express and got a orange bowl with the largest soda I've ever seen (he worked on it for 2 days before I finally tossed it for him - no one should drink that much sugar), then headed over to sweet frog for ice cream (but our plans were foiled since they don't open till noon), but we were not deterred! We powered on and found Wendy's and ordered a frosty with french fries. I then dropped Zack back off at school, complete with his massive red soda cup and returned 3 hours later to pick him up. Oddly he wasn't hungry for dinner......
