Ryan's Birthday Treasure Hunt

I honestly cannot believe that I have an 8 year old! This year has been a great one for Ryan, as he has really grown in so many ways. He is always concerned about doing the right thing and has an unusually good sense of humor for his age. At his end of year awards ceremony, Ryan got the award for the "best laugh." He has lots of friends and wants to be nice to everyone. We celebrated with friends from his class at school. The kids absolutely loved the treasure hunt. We took them all over the neighborhood and then down to the lake for the treasure where pinecones marked the spot with a big x. It was a very hot day and having 10 eight year olds wore Shan and I out! Before we could finish reading each clue, the kids were off and running down the street for the next one. Emma kept up with the fastest of them, but mommy and Madeline (in stroller) hardly could catch them.

What's better than a treasure hunt? Nothing.
Love the cake as well. And that picture of Emma is breathtaking. Ryan, you are so handsome. I can't believe you are eight years old already. You are so grown up.
Love, Mimi
