Cole's 11th Birthday

Always fun to celebrate a birthday! Cole celebrated his actual 11th birthday with presents, a junior golf clinic through the Lincoln Land Charity Championship golf tournament, ice cream at Scoop Du Jour, and video games.

Rey, always the helper

Surprised about the Nintendo Switch

Rey loves birthdays just as much as the boys because of the gift boxes she inherits. 

Trying out the Switch

For his friend party, Cole wanted a summer theme.

Cole picked out the supplies and helped design the cake. 

We took a group of Cole's friends to Island Bay Yacht Club for swimming, dinner, and sports. It was a perfect evening with nice weather and very few people at the pool.

Several games of pool basketball...

Some sand volleyball...

Tetherball

Several games of regular basketball...

More tetherball...

And even more basketball...

The birthday crew...

A great group of boys...Drake, Broc, Cole, Ryan, Ethan, and Joel

Sometime in between all the games, the boys stopped for dinner.

Back at the house, they had a Bomberman tournament on the Switch.

Time for presents...

And cake...

The boys finished the night with more video games and a movie. The next morning, they continued Cole's birthday tradition of a kickball game in the backyard.

After Cole's friend party, we celebrated with Nana and Papa.

Happy with the Lego Brickheadz

It wouldn't be a birthday here without Legos. 

Smart, friendly, caring, passionate, perceptive, energetic...We love this 11-year-old!
