This past Saturday was Emil's birthday, he's finally catching up to me an can no longer claim to be a year younger than I am. He went early to go get some items from Home Depot and help a friend move a few boxes. Then he came home and worked on Fort Moster (the treehouse) and ended up finishing it up. Kai was his right hand man and it was so cute to hear how excited he was to come in the house for a drink and tell me all about the new trap door or whatever else they had just completed. He ate it up. It's so nice to have the Fort actually done since Emil's had this project brewing for over a year. We even used recycled wood from a friends deck they tore down so we
were "green" about it too. Emil's a great Dad. I asked the kids what they thought Emil would like to do best for his birthday and they all thought rock climbing so after a birthday dinner we headed out to the Rock Gym in Va Beach. It was just like a bad romance novel. It was a hot steamy night....(OK, well maybe only that part, did but how often do you actually get the chance to actually write that line and it actually apply?)
Emil and I belayed the kids for about 2 hours and that was very sweaty but fun. Then he had a go at a wall he wanted to see if he could conquer. It was pretty fun but most of my happiness came from the fact that we were all together.
