It was Benjamin's birthday party time and we all came out to help him celebrate. Sarah brought a book to help pass the time. Suzanne posed in front of the refreshment stand and Jane and Kaylen played a warmup game of air hockey. The rules of the day were explained carefully and then everyone was ready to do the first activity which was video games. Abe and Will were clustered at the driving machines while Ian tried to get started. Ben and Matt were playing hockey then air hockey when Kurran stepped into the hockey game making Ben go at full force as the game progressed and Nate joined the drivers while Kaylen and Jane watched and Sarah and Jane got their drinks and Benjamin and Kurran settled on a new game which got Benjamin going and attracted a crowd until it was time to walk over to the miniature golf, activity 2.

This started with some wild swings before Benjamin and Nate traded tips that seemed to improve their games and Jane did her classic golfer pose.

The third activity was soccer where the kids ran the field

and eventually Benjamin got to play goalie

At last, it was time for the cake The candles were lit and deep breaths were taken Once they were out, the party continued until we said good bye to the sign that defined the day.
