So Lucy's birthday turned out to be quite fun for the kids. The kids had wanted to go up to Grand Junction's Banana's Fun Park before school started. Seeing as Fridays were "buy 1 get 1 half-off," I suggested the boy's pay half for their ticket and then buy the girls' pass - as a birthday present. The boys agreed and so on Thursday night, Jonas and Miles surprised the girls with this letter:
Wouldn’t a
birthday be better with a banana?
Or maybe 2 of them
How about bananas
Not the kind you eat but the kind you
go to in Grand Junction.
For your present from the boys you
will get to go to bananas on your birthday
Happy birthday from the boys
The girls were super-excited. So we spent most of the day up in Junction at Bananas. The boys couldn't get enough of the go-karts. It was pretty empty there (Junction had already started school) and so there weren't any lines. Lucky. The girls had fun on the mini go-karts, boats, mini golf, etc.
We stopped for lunch at Pizza Hut on our way . . . .yum.
Emmy was a very conservative driver. She also liked to just stay in her "lane." She didn't care about passing anyone; she just had fun driving!
The boys had a blast. They loved trying to pass each other.
Miles, so cool. :)
Boats!
The girls spent a lot of time on the mini go-karts as well.
Lucy's unicorn cake. I was too lazy to make more frosting, so the base layer wasn't the greatest . . . But still kind of cute . . .
We got home, Lucy opened her gifts, we had tilapia for dinner, then watched a movie. But at "intermission" we stopped for some cake and singing!
Happy Birthday Lucy! We love you!

This sounds like a perfect day! You should go every year when the Grand Junction kids are in school.
