Signe turns 11!

We celebrated Signe's birthday in a big way on Monday at Bullwinkle's Family Fun Center in Wilsonville. It was a drizzly overcast day, which also meant no lines and 10 hours (!!!!) of fun. We mini-golfed, rode the zip line over and over, raced in the go-carts, battled enemies in Laser Tag three times, soaked Nick and Papa in the bumper boats, shot aliens in the 3D game booth, played arcade games, and rock-climbed. We also did several rounds at the batting cages, although Signe caught a ricochet off her bat on the chin and bled profusely from her lip. Thankfully she recovered her composure to continue her day.

So we hadn't made plans for today, but we sent out a last minute call to all the girls in her class to meet up at the pool and play together. They are having a blast right now, and I brought a cake for the kids to devour first. In attendance are her brothers and cousins Jerome and Greta, Lily Leidenfrost, Eleanor Evans, Xan Doane, and our neighbor Madison.
