This year we didn't have "party week" as we usually do. Nathan's birthday fell on Father's Day, so we had a daddy day with pool time, lots of sports on TV, and a home-cooked meal. Seth's birthday was on a Wednesday. He slept in because he had his first swim meet the night before. I made cake batter pancakes (something that was fun to try but I won't make a habit of!), and then it was time to head to swim team practice. As we were getting ready, Seth asked if we could bring a treat, so we got some munchkins to share with the team. Then we came home, packed a picnic, and headed back to the pool. We had the pool virtually to ourselves and Seth's favorite guard/coach was on duty. By 12:30, all of pool buddies had joined us.
What Seth wanted to do for his birthday was to go bowling in uptown Charlotte. So we headed down there, dragging his presents with us:He got lots of clothes, and lots of fun stuff!
We didn't think to get reservations ahead of time for bowling, and there were no lanes available. So plan B quickly became seeing Madagascar 3 in 3D. We got our tickets, and then ate a quick dinner at Five Guys. We ended up having the entire theater to ourselves, and it was really swanky, so it turned out to be a pretty cool family outing.
