Two for one!

Okay, you get two events for the price of one post... free. Today was a packed Saturday, with plenty of fun had by all. In the morning, Ben's birthday doughnut breakfast prepared us for the day with an extra healthy (or not) dose of sugar. Tomorrow, he turns seven! He had fun opening some of his presents, and after that, we loaded the gang up to take on Castlewood Park. The auspicious prospect of a leisurely family hike was not foiled, even with Will getting out of the car sporting one shoe in hand... where the other one is, we still don't know. So, Dad carried the barefoot boy in the hiking pack, I took Matt on my shoulders, and Josh got a ride from Mom. We found a few lizards on the hike, and Luke even "caught" one with his rear end. Talk about talent! 'Twas a fun time; the excursion was topped off with a trip to Sonic... ahh, slushies. Check out the pictures!
