Party Time

This weekend Maggie got a chance to hang out in the "D" for a Ben's Encore event.  The "Back to School" concert at the Hard Rock was Saturday, and so I took Maggie for a couple hours to make instruments (egg shakers), play the percussion wall, and watch some young kids rock out!

I'm a roadie, just helping Daddy
load the drums

Making as much noise as possible!

Sunday we celebrated my Dad's 69th birthday in total style... at Chuck E. Cheese!  That's how all 69-year-olds roll, right?  It was a fun time, Luke and Maggie really seemed to enjoy themselves!

Maggie would not take her sunglasses
off half the time!  She also wore them
all throughout church.

Singing Happy Birthday!

Helping Daddy shoot some hoops

Here Pops, I'll show you how this works

The merry-go-round was Maggie's
favorite ride of all!

I had a great time hanging out with Luke and holding little Claire.  Luke was so cute during the birthday song - he just stared intently the whole time, waiting for someone to say the word "blow."  As soon as he heard the magic word, he blew out those candles before Pops could get near 'em!  We re-lit them so Maggie and Luke could both blow them out again - perhaps the highlight of their day!
