Max's 5th Birthday

Rich, Alex and Max went to the Father's and Son's camp out in Spanish Fork Canyon last night so when Max woke up in the tent he told Rich that being "5" felt different. Alot of the guys up there knew it was Max's birthday and they all teased him and told him that he grew overnight. He said in all seriousness to Rich on the way home, "dad, I think they are right, I am alot bigger today."

We all got showered and went to Adelie and Adriana's baptism's at 1:00pm. Max was not very happy that he had to go to baptism's on HIS birthday, but he was so tired from his late night camping adventure he ended up falling asleep on Rich and sleeping through the whole thing. He woke up much happier so I was grateful he got a nap!! We all went to the Duvall's house for lunch afterward.

Max was getting anxious to start celebrating his birthday so we got in the car and he wanted to open his presents while we were driving. I told Rich to stop at the park so he could open up his gifts.

 

He got a new Transformer, two Bionicles, a water gun, some bullets for his Nerf gun and some shrinky dinks. He was pretty happy with his gifts.

Then we hopped back in the car and went to Trafalga in Lehi.
We all did the indoor miniature golf, Max had his first ride on a go-kart (and loved it, even though he looked a little scared at times), and Alex climbed the rock wall. Max usually wants to mini golf 2 or 3 times in a row but I think he was anxious to get home and play with his new toys so we weren't there for too long.
He picked McDonald's for dinner and so we stopped and ate and he played on the play land. When we got home it was still pretty early so we all went on a walk.

Then Max jumped in the shower to clean up and then it was time to make his birthday wish!!

 

He was really thinking hard about his wish and got all the candles out so hopefully his wish will come true!! He played with his toys and even built the Bionicles all by himself by looking at the instructions!! Smart kid!! I love Max so much and hope he has a fabulous year being 5!!
