Chris is 8!

We had such a fun day celebrating Chris' birthday! The day started with Bryce's first t-ball practice. Conan was able to meet us there, so we were all excited. 

Afterwards, we headed to Mall of America for our annual birthday trip. It's hard to believe that it's out fourth time to have Chris' birthday there. That's as many birthdays as we were in NY, wow does time go fast! 

Grandpa Bob got into town last night, so we were glad to have him there to celebrate! He loves to do rides with Chris. I think the feeling is mutual! This is them after the scariest ride at the mall. It's a straight drop down, and I would never ride it. 

 Everyone in our family loves the log ride. I can't wait until Audrey and I can get in on that one!

Grandpa Bob was a little too tall for the Fairly Odd Parents ride, so the boys rode it by themselves. Such big kids!

We went to Johnny Rockets for lunch. It always brings back such fun memories. We used to meet Conan there in NYC, and Chris always loved it. They had a candy Crush shake there that I couldn't say no to. 

Chris loves watching golf with Grandpa Bob so much. He was excited to be able to catch some of the U.S. Open. 

When Conan got home, we opened presents, sang to Chris, and had candy sushi. 

And then the boys were off to a Twins-Yankees game. It was a 7 pm game, so I held down the fort with Audrey. They were a house divided, we have a lot of Yankees fans in our family! 

Chris had so much fun at the game. He even ended up on the big screen! What a fabulous way to end a birthday. Happy birthday, Chris! We love you!
