I love the “popcorn flowers” that come every year on our giant catalpa.
They’re simple but pretty.
Hiding under the canopy of the catalpa is rather peaceful too.

Birthday Boy
A week later, it was Superman’s turn for his birthday!
Naturally he got everybody up nice and early.
Then he immediately started admiring his gifts.
This ‘tornado in a bottle’ was a surprise favorite. Very zen to watch I suppose.
We didn’t make him pause and take a picture with everything but I know for sure I helped him put this together the same day he got it. I fear Thunderer may have run off with the characters at the moment, but they’ll turn back up.

Birthday Teen
I’m not sure how the sorting put these birthday pictures for TJ after the fair trip, but oh well. They were originally taken on June 1… he turned 16!
Blew them all out in one swoop!

At Applebees
Time to gather round the table and get a shot of everybody!
A happy but tired crew.

Straw Trick
Not sure what it is with all of them doing this straw trick.
While we waited TJ enjoyed sampling from his drink with it though so since we didn’t get too many with him through the day I thought I’d share this now.

Sleeper
With the busy fun day near its end one of them just couldn’t hold out any longer.
My little niece, passed out.

Mother’s Ring
Before being found Mom had a Mother’s ring with a single stone in it. One for my brother.
Just recently she received her new one… one with both of us on it.
If you can’t tell, the fun day out is almost over too.
We’re waiting for a table for our large group at a local Applebees.
