Nerdy: Cami's IQ is higher than mine, yours, or anybody any of us knows. She has an advanced degree in super-cali-fragi-nerdy theoretical mathematics, and puts Freedom Trail and Smithsonian tour guides to shame with her historical knowledge.
She chose to spend her memorial-day birthday at Kimball Farms, where you can get fresh ice cream and participate in myriad fun activies. First we hit the bumper boats. Cami and I pretended this was for the kids' sakes, but we had just as much fun as they did:
Calvin squealed with joy every time we ran into him or vice versa. Especially if we got wet.
Bryn was an excellent driver, and enjoyed going around and around and around and around in circles. She let out a loud, uninhibited war cry every time we charged another boat.
Next, we got our Jason Bay on at the batting cages.
Ivy hits a mean line drive.
Lazy Squiggles slept through most of the day,
But woke up to cheer me on when I was at bat. I can't make this picture rotate.
The children had as much fun playing with rocks (free) as they did riding the bumper boats (not-so-free).
Ivy smiled and squealed every time she saw the baby,
so we told her to watch her carefully while we hit the bar.
Just kidding.
After a lovely afternoon in the hot sun, we ate ice cream.
Peter shared with Ivy,
And Tim shared with... d'oh!!!

Oh man! This looks so fun it's hard to read about...because I wasn't there.
I'm glad Cami had a great birthday, though.
Looks like Cami's birthday was a smashing success, ice cream and all. Only one thing missing...ME!
Oh, gosh, thanks! Of course, I owe all my birthday fun to you for suggesting the place. It was my most fun birthday in a long time. It's nice that my big sister likes to do pretty much all the same things I do.
Next year everyone is invited and I'm going to go on a balloon ride even if I have to hijack it, high winds or not!
DADickey: I have the most special children and grandchildren in the whole world. Even though they keep having birthdays they never seem to age relatively to me. Can we come and play sometime?
Oh my! Happy (belated) Birthday to Cami!
That Miss Ivy is SURE cute!
