While Titus and I were in Charlotte, the rest of the kids went to Game Night at Lyon's and Chris got a night alone at home (sort of an early B-Day gift).
Amber and I caught a great moon shot on our way to the barn; it looked like an African moon on the Serengeti.
After the ECD dance, the gang met up for treats at Cook-Out.
Titus got his drone this month and he is a natural. He plans to get his commerical drone pilot license so he can take real estate photos and become CAP drone pilot for Search and Rescue missions.
Jared got Chris hooked back on LEGOs, he says its helping fight off dementia.
As Frank was a little immobile, so we brought birthday cake over to them so they could still celebrate Chris' birthday. I'm so blessed to have such an incredible man as my best friend to go through life.
Though the geese felt a little left out, they wanted cake too.
We did a bit of dual birthday celebration this year where Chris took the day off and came to the Aloha Safari zoo with Amber and her FIAR friends. Chris and I enjoyed walking about a bit alone while the paperwork for Amber to "adopt" her friends little sister was being written up.
Kimberly of course spent the weekend for Amber's birthday and they got to experiment together with Ambers new digital art tools. Following tradition, we also went on a hike, this year at Bass Lake.
Big bro couldn't decide what color to get so he just got them all.
Birthday celebrations ended with a yummy birthday dinner made to order with a second dose of fun. It's amazing that she's actually 14, not sure where the time went. She's such an incredibly beautiful young lady and accomplished horsewoman, can't wait to see what she does with the coming year.
Believe it or not Lance went to his very first State Fair. As he does not do rides, he was the official purse holder for all his friends. A co-worker heard his laugh came up behind and scared the girls till Lance started laughing. At the end of the night he was a gentleman and made sure all the girls got back safely to their cars (though he was parked right next to them as he had to replace a tire for one before the fair).
We went to a new corn maze this year where we got to meet many of the boy's friends for the first time. It was a lot of fun, we played some disc golf and corn hole too. Though the highlight was watching the kids go through the mini-corn maze blindfolded directed by their "friends".
Titus and I had an impromptu date, we went to north Raleigh to get his tennis racquet restrung so he could finish the JTT season strong. As the guy works from his home, we needed to occupy ourselves somewhere near by while he worked. He suggested an Irish Pub and we couldn't have been more delighted.
Month finished out with a square dance, the boys dressed up as the Pontipees from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. It was a bit of drive so they drove three of their friends. Titus was tasked with making a Halloween playlist for the drive.
Earlier in the month Jared was given another raise and he had another private dance calling event. This side gig is starting to be quite profitable.
