Mondo Birthday Weekend, Pt 3

So, we did the big double bday party thing at my s-i-l's for the boys. It was all good (pizza, salad and cheesecake) and everyone seemed to have a good time.

That evening, the NZS2 had some friends over for a bbq and hanging in the jacuzzi. The kids had a good time and were well behaved. Unlike my bbq which seems to have a valve problem (only one side will stay well lit at a time), so I cooked have the food outside and the other half inside.

We topped things off on Monday (The HB's actual birthday) by playing hookey (well, all except the HB whose spring break has started) and going to Knott's Berry Farm. It was EMPTY so we got to on all the ride we wanted as many times as we wanted. When I was kid we never went there because the Knott family was big contributors to the John Birch Society, a pretty right-wing organization. Even though my dad is pretty conservative in his political beliefs, he thought these guys were a bunch of red-baiting kooks.

By the time we got home, everyone was pretty beat. I had to really rally the troops for some cake and ice cream. All in all, a pretty successful bday weekend, even if we all need another weekend to recover.
