Birthday Round 2 - Wixom's in Idaho

Nevada, its a pretty cool state. We also became a state on Halloween and it is now a state holiday, Nevada Day. Over Nevada Day my Parents, sister Micah, Melissa & her family all came up to celebrate round 2 of Emerson's birthday. Emerson had a complete blast having everyone here, he just thrives with attention and being around people.

Ernie and Caleb had a blast running about outside and checking everything out. Mark even let them drive the lawn mower around, which they thought was awesome.

We went to the nature park for a picnic and the boys drove my moms plasma cars all around the skate park.

Micah, Claire, Caleb, Ernie, Emerson and I hiked "R" mountain, the Menan Butte. I only got the boys up it because I told them how it was an old volcano, which they thought was pretty cool.

We went and did laser tag, Emerson and I walked around the arcade while they battled it out. Emerson got his groove on in the arcade and kept dancing to all the music and loved playing ski ball and the driving games.

We also played a little black light mini-golf

Saturday my grandma and aunt and cousin came up and we all went to the straw maze.

It was a lot of fun, crazy and super hard. Luckily my 6'7 brother in law was able to take some peeks for us so we could get through.

We went to a Halloween festival

Emerson decided to dig into the awesome cake that Truck Grandma made him before we got a chance to sing.

Truck Grandma is pretty great ( Little Ernie starting calling them "Truck" Grandma and Grandpa when he was little because they have a classic ford truck and he used to play trucks with grandpa there - the name stuck)
