Will and I met all of the ladies at Huntamer Park tonight to see a juggling acrobat. Will loved it - watching a man throw swords and knives around was right up his alley. The performer asked for volunteers several times throughout the show and I was surprised to see Will raise his hand to join in the fun. He jumped, flailed and waved like crazy trying to get the juggler's attention, but his on stage debut just wasn't in the cards today.

Happy 7th Anniversary! Marc and I spent the day cleaning and doing yard work - the first of what will be many days getting our house ready to sell. We anticipated vegging out at home with a Papa Murphy's pizza. Instead, thanks to Marc's nimble fingers, we ended up at Brewery City. Guess we did get to go out for dinner on our anniversary! (Yes, Marc was very annoyed that I told him to wait to clean up the mess until I got my camera!)

The love for all things Star Wars continues. Marc printed out some coloring pages today. Wil had to put on his Darth Vader mask to color in Yoda. I'm sure this violates many Jedi rules.

I took Will to a birthday party for one of his school buddies today. The kids were supposed to come dressed as their favorite superhero. Will stepped out the front door and said, "It's windy! Can I fly like superman?" I told him to try. He gave it a great running start, but just couldn't seem to get off of the ground.

We celebrated Marc's 36th birthday a day early today. Our celebration was early because Marc is spending his birthday looking at golf clubs tomorrow, so it worked. I love how Marc is looking at Will in this photo. Such a good Dad.

Our last day in Long Beach and we spent some time at the rides. I have taken many pictures of Will on this merry go round over the years, but I think this is my very first one where he is looking at the camera and smiling.

It is not often that temperatures on the coast reach 80 degrees and we kept saying how lucky we were to experience it. We had such a great time splashing in the surf!
