Memorial Day and Dallas' Birthday at the Lake

Dallas had his birthday party at the lake this year. As always, he gets a little "hosed" on his birthday because it is always Memorial weekend. This year we had his party early at our house and took his friends to see "Narnia: Prince Caspian". Then we took his presents and had cake for his real birthday at the lake. Lisa and Kent and the kids came up and the Acord cabin was also full of boys so it ended up being a great weekend. Justin made Dallas M&M Eggs for his birthday breakfast..... I convinced him to let Dallas off the hook and tell him he didn't have to eat them after I saw the look on his face. Justin tried a bite and promptly threw them in the garbage! Nice thought though! The kids still braved the water even though it was rainy and cold. Dallas is such a great kid. He is so willing to help with whatever job needs to be done. Yesterday we pulled weeds in the backyard and his hay fever was at an all time high. He didn't complain once. He worked and worked until the sneezing was almost constant. I finally told him to shower so he could stop sneezing. What a good kid.
