A party...

 

Our weekend was a flurry of birthday parties.  M's boys spent the night with him on Friday night, which was awesome, because it was Cameron's 8th birthday on Saturday.  They'd organised a quad biking party for him, which was huge fun for all the boys (big and small) and some mommies.  Jake was super excited about Cam's birthday and was very upset with me that we didn't stay over on Friday night to wake up with him on Saturday morning, but I figured it would be better for them to have a calmer house when they woke up on his birthday.  We had sushi with my folks for supper on Friday night, which was also fabulous.

Jake's mission on Saturday, so he told me in the car on our way to their house, was to make Cam feel special on his birthday.  Before the other kids arrived, our boys were allowed a ride on the quads.  I tried to get a photo of the 3 of them together with their helmets on, but, well, boys...

 You just can't expect them to stand still and smile for the camera when there are quad bikes roaring to go...

 I managed to get two smiles...

 I think M was almost as excited to get going as the kids were.  Hey my honey...

 I don't think I have one good photo of Michael from the entire day.  Every time he saw my camera, he made a face...

  Weeheeeheeehahaha - you'll regret that one day, buddy...

Oh wait, serious and ready to go...

 My mean machine, Jake...

 Cam was a little overwhelmed to begin with, so he rode with his dad the first time...

 Off they go...

 Oh Michael...

 Michael...

 Michael...

 Apparently, unless I'm pay him for his photograph, I have to take sneaky photos of Michael...

 Getting stuck into his birthday cake...

 And one last lap before we went home.  The place is actually a farm, so rather than doing laps, there are various routes that they took the kids on.  This is Jake taking the boys mom, K, for a ride.  I'd already been with him and ended up FILTHY, but it was huge fun...

 And there goes the birthday boy on his own bike...

 See all that mucky dirt... dirt and quad bikes = the best party ever!!

It really was every boy's dream birthday party and Jake's decided that he's definitely doing this for his next party too.  Thanks for letting us share the day with you Cam, we had such fun and we're already looking forward to your next party!!
