We have been in total celebration mode here these past 12 weeks. I'm not just talking about celebrating our big brand new lives here. I am talking SEVEN birthday celebrations this summer.
Eeek! Along with holidays. Whoooweee.
So, it was Josh's turn.
To celebrate him.
We wanted to celebrate big.
So we did. Why not?
His b-day kinda started with a big burger. At a side-of-the-road-trailer-type-restaurant, should-we-really-eat-here!? We did, 'cuz Google said it was awesome. Like, a ton of 5-star comments. We ate THE biggest burgers of our lives at "Big Burger World" in Colorado Springs. Fresh-n-gooood. Thanks big time Google.
Then we were off with other big news. White-water rafting down the Royal Gorge. Super fun. The girls totally put their big girl panties on and joined us. They fitted up us all and stuck Big Daddy in tiny wet-suit, shoes, helmet, spf 250!, and paddle we headed out in safety with a great guide to the big currents. The water was 43 degrees and the girls got soaked in the front. Lauren was pumped about it until half-way through (holdin' on white knuckled) she turned and looked at me with some big fear in her eyes. We all had a blast and want to make it a Josh birthday tradition.
Big beauty. Big rocks down the river.
(I'm sad, I didn't have a waterproof camera)
We wanted to grab a bite to eat and went to one of J's favorite stores-- and look at the big shoe Lauren found. Like, size 22 or something! (never seen one so big!)
Big thoughts.
Big wishes.
Big love.
We love you big time, Daddy.
