David's 24th

Last Friday, David and I drove down to Utah to celebrate his 24th birthday with his family.  We got up Saturday morning and opened presents over delicious bagel sandwiches, and then headed off to Lagoon, David's favorite birthday bash location.  

David's favorite present was his new basketball.


This is our second year with the September celebration.  It is a fun weekend because Sydney, David, Chris, and Sarah all have birthdays the same week. 


Sydney brought her friend, Allison to celebrate her sweet 16.

The other little birthday girl.

Caroline rides the Rocket for the first time





Last year, David told Caroline that he would buy her a snow cone if she went on the Rocket with us, but she was still too scared.  This year, she finally went and about an hour after we got off of it, she said, "Hey David!  Now you owe me a snow cone!"  The things kids remember!  The perfect uncle that he is, one tiger's blood snow cone magically appeared.

Someone thought it would be hilarious to put all the little kids in one log, and put Rob and David in the front of another with Spencer and me behind... 

I ended up wet. David thought this was hilarious.

We ended the festivities with a splash on Rattlesnake Rapids...





very wet. 

We had a fabulous day.  David and I drove home that night, which was nearly impossible.  I was so tired, I couldn't function at all and David was so tired that we had to pull over twice to take a little nap.  We made it home alive by 1:00 AM!  David made it to his stake priesthood meeting the next morning at 7:00.  EEEK!  After church, Garet brought over a cake sponsored by Mom and Jim which was delicious!


I particularly enjoyed Garet's Mr. Rogers sweater. 

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood... 

Happy Birthday, David!
