Bruce’s birthday today! Seven years old! Little sh*t has been with us a long time now. Got up early, got out the mower and cut the other side and front yard to finish what I started yesterday. Loaded mower and the boys’ bikes on the trailer and headed to the new property, Ashley stayed and helped Lesa fix lunch. I cut grass and the boys rode their bikes, Bruce got a flat almost immediately so he played down at the creek. The girls showed up and they had the dogs and Lesa and the kids walked the dogs around the property. We had a picnic lunch and I resumed cutting, Dillan and Bruce stayed with me, Ashley and Dwyane went home with Lesa and the dogs. Found a turtle while cutting and Bruce liked that, watched it for awhile and didn’t try to bother it. Got pretty hot and was ready for a tall cold glass of water and a shower when I got home. I fixed piggy pancakes, a request from the birthday boy, and then we gave Bruce his gifts and had strawberry shortcake with whipped cream, his favorite. He was pleased with his gifts. I broke out Lesa and my bikes from the shed, cleaned them up a bit, put air in the tires and we rode with the kids to get mail. I rode bikes with the boys afterward, just up and down the street, but they had a blast and thought it was really cool riding bikes with dad, we rode until bedtime! Let them stay up just a little bit later and then sent the boys to bed. Let Dillan and Ashley watch another Bond movie and then off to bed with them too. We had a busy day but it was worth it.
