Jon's Birthday Survey and Celebrating 7!

We had a great day today celebrating Jon's 7th birthday. We started off with some number 7 pancakes.

Then he opened presents and he got the two things he really wanted: a Camelbak Backpack for bike rides and cool goggles like his friend, Ava.

We had to follow that with going swimming with our friends. His buddy, Ava, made him a special chair and then everyone posed around him. We followed that with the usual pool fun:

Next we went to Olive Garden as a family--and I somehow forgot to take any pictures, but I did remember to take a picture of him with his cupcake and #7 candle. :)
