With the business of September as back to school time, we can't forget Erik's birthday. This year Erik turned 15 and seeing how he's grown and listening to his voice get lower and lower, it's easy to believe that he's 15. Here Erik's is blowing out the candles on his cake. (We had to go to instant replay to determine whether or not he got the last candle with the first breath. Upon further review, we'll give it to him!) The horses on Erik's cake represented our horseback riding adventure on vacation, the first time that Anne, Rebecca and Erik had ever been on a real horseback ride. (Not counting supervised pony rides as kids!)
One of Erik's gifts was a metal detector. Now all he needs is a pair of bermuda shorts and a bucket hat and he'd fit right in at any beach!
Then a couple of weeks after his actual birthday, Erik and a couple of friends celebrated by visiting the Davis Mega Maze in Sterling, MA. This enormous maze is made up almost entirely of a carved out corn field, with some wooden platforms added in for fun. It's an incredible engineering feat to put this thing together.
Erik and his friends wandered the maze for two hours, playing games inside for clues to where they needed to go. After those two hours, they came out smiling.
So for one last time...HAPPY 15TH BIRTHDAY ERIK!
