My eleventh birthday started at five thirty in the morning. I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep! We started my birthday with presents, because I was not able to wait any longer. I wasn’t surprised by the balls of yarn, because I had caught Ma carrying it in a few days before, but I was certainly surprised to get a boomerang and other great presents. After having donuts for breakfast, we headed to a sandy beach where I tried out my new boomerang. I wasn’t able to make it come back, but it did make a pretty big turn.
In the afternoon, we got our new tire put on the RV, and then we headed home for a delicious birthday dinner and a “surprise” cake. I had found Ma buying the cake when Pa had sent me to get fresh bread. Didn’t Pa know that you get cakes in the bakery section? Even if it wasn’t a surprise, it was still delicious. I think it was the best cake I ever had!
The day ended with a movie in the RV after Little Kid was asleep. Definitely got the maximum birthday hours!
