Your Children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you. And though they are with you they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their thoughts dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. Kahlil Gibran

Birthday Buddies

Niko's 11th birthday was all that he had hoped for. We drove two hours to a lake resort town with his good friend and his Dad to skate, tag, drive golf and bounce.
Stopped to the local bakery for a birthday treat.
First...skating.



The golfing looked pretty serious.


But the driving got down right mean.







sons and dads
Warhead faces
No birthday is complete without cheap arcade prizes. Before our drive back we stopped for dinner and a blogging buddy recognized me as she has a daughter from China as well. It was very surprising and a nice treat.
Niko opened his birthday gift in the car, a gift card. He has his hopes set on a N*rf gun.
