McKay's Birthday and Pine Wood Derby

This post is all about McKay.  He has had a couple of special days these past few weeks.  He had his first Pine Wood Derby and won 1st place with his winning car.  There were only 8 boys and a couple of the cars were really close in racing with McKay's car.  It was fun to watch and McKay was very humble about his winning.  It was a very short race with only a few boys and we had root beer floats afterwards.

 McKay and his potato man he made on his last couple of days of school.  He decorated it all by himself.

McKay turned 9 years old yesterday, June 26.  We just made it a family day because I don't think physically I could have handled a birthday party with friends.  I took the kids to an indoor play place called Planet Kid.  We were there for hours and they had a lot of fun.  Then we went to a big park in downtown Boise and played and then went over to a giant fountain and played in the water with sticks that the kids were finding all over the place with the big trees.  We stopped off and got McKay's new scout book for Bears and took a trip to Walmart.  We got home around 5 p.m. and everyone was exhausted.  Kory came home from work exhausted as well with a busy and frustrating day for him at work.  We made some quick cupcakes and went and got Guido's New York pizza for dinner, yum.  McKay opened presents and got a new bike, Lego set, a crystal maker, a little art picture from Erica, $20 from Grandma and Grandpa Adams, and a book and bear neck tie for scouts from Grandma and Grandpa Hall.  It was a great day.  Happy Birthday McKay, we love you!!!!!
