THE HOWARD FAMILY BLOG: California for Gage's 7th Birthday!

Another Gageman birthday was in order! We packed up the car and headed to California! This trip was a busy one! We left our house on Thursday morning (April 22nd) and after a long drive we got there around 8pm. The next day Howie, Makenna, Dale, Jeanie, Gage, Ashton and I drove to Modesto to attend a Modesto Nuts game for Gage's birthday. It was fun but a super long game. We ended up leaving early and calling it a night...

Settling in our seats

I'm not even sure if they won or not but the field looked pretty at night!

The next day was Gage's birthday party but first we had to attend Gage's baseball game! He was so cute in his uniform that I made his pose for a picture. :)

And with one of him and Makenna...

Makenna started to get a little restless so we decided to take her to the playground. She had so much fun going up and down the slide... over and over and over!

After a million times of going up and down the slide, we went back to watch Gage play ball. Makenna decided to sit with her Oldpa.

THEN.. after about 5 minutes she convinced her Oldpa to take her to the park again. He didn't have a problem with that. :)

After the game we headed back to Dale & Jeanie's to prepare for the party! Makenna was given a cupcake before we left and Daddy let her eat it in the car. I was surprised because she never eats sweets (excluding fruit snacks)! She dug in and made a mess!

LET THE FESTIVITIES BEGIN! I didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked since it's so easy to socialize. :) Gage's theme this year was "Rock Star". Oldma seemed to have the spirit!There was tons of good food and lots of awesome people to talk to. Makenna found a friend in Hunter. He is a couple of months younger than her but he towers over her! He's a big boy! Gage showin' off his skills with a baseball!
