Port's Birthday at the Lake

Port really wanted to celebrate his birthday at the lake. His cousins were all out of town, so he got to celebrate with Lolli, Champ, Josh, Jenny, Grandad, JuJu, Alex, Brooke, Asher, and our family. We have started all staying in the bunk room the last few times we were at the lake, so that's where Port chose to sleep again. I brought a few things to decorate and celebrate his birthday:-)
Port got to open gifts when he woke up. Lolli and Champ brought my gifts because I have a nosey little guy that would have enjoyed sitting by his gifts a little too much...but they forgot theirs! They did bring 5 balloons filled with $1 each and watched him pop each of them. I think we all looked like Haynes waiting for him to pop them.
It's pretty hard to watch a sibling celebrate their birthday, but to do it about 5x's in a week makes it even more difficult:-) Haynes decided playing on the Ipad was a better option than not opening gifts...
We had beautiful weather while we were at the lake. Everyone got to tube, ski and jump off the cliffs. Even Ella joined Lolli on the tube for a gentle ride...
The MayFlies showed up this weekend, which made for great fishing. Lolli and Ella caught plenty of fish!
Birthday Boy catching more fish!
Yes-that is my 3 year old jumping off the cliff! My kids may not like scary movies, but they have no fear when it comes to jumping, climbing, etc. Haynes only complaint was when he got water in his nose:-)
Port decided to get some creativity points by doing a twist off the cliffs. The next day he tried a "back flip" or a back buster...later he decided he would try to do that when he was a little older. I completely agreed!!!
Asher and Ella
These cute kids love each other!
Cheers!!!
Happy Birthday Port Robert!
We love you so much! We love celebrating you and the mighty man of God you are! Love you!
