For Michael's Birthday we were going to go to a water park in Moses Lake which is like a hour and a half away from us. That morning it was raining and wasn't supposed to stop until around two that afternoon so we decided to go to the other side of the Columbia River that afternoon where there is a little sand bank that Michael could play in. When we got there there was no sand bank in sight! The water level was so high that it was completely covered. So we went with plan C. We jumped into a canal that runs through some orchards around here. I didn't get very far into it because the water was too swift and deep. Since I am in such... good shape right now and carry a nice rock in my stomach I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to get out of it. Alan took Michael for a little bit in it, but mostly just Alan played in it. It wasn't the best place for little kids but at least we got to get into some water.
Later that night we had a family friend (Rox) come over. We had cake and icecream and opened up presents. Rox made the cake. It was a monkey face (very cute). Between the cake and the candles Michael was fascinated! Over all I think Michael had a fun day.
