That Was a Fast First Year....Ethan Kelly is Already One Year Old, and Yesterday Was his Marina Party

We dipped back into 100% humidity again yesterday with high 80 temperatures. Without much shade in a backyard, it was brutal. Of course, I found a spot and didn't move. The lucky ones were the little ones because they had several water parks set up for them to play in: slides, whales, spray hoses, bridges. They had a ball, while the adults looked on with envy.

Ethan lucked out, too. He'll be opening presents for months, with enough gifts for two families at Christmas. He was rather exhausted by the time they got to the cake, although he did smirk a good portion of it all over his cheeks.

Patrick's man-cave is looking good, too, as he's converted his garage into a bar with photos from all over the years on all the walls. It looks great and would definitely be a hangout spot if there wasn't a birthday to celebrate. 

I liked the swag bag given to everyone at the end, and I've already squirted Karal with the shark gun, love my seahorse key chain, and hope the chocolate is good on his candy bars.

But now it is Monday. Time to make the donuts.
