Cannon's 13th Birthday at Stratford Ranch

 

Cannon turned 13!!!  Abe and I took him out for a birthday lunch at JCW's.  What a great kid he is!  He is now officially a teenager and he's agreed to go easy on his parents:)
Later that day we packed up and headed to one of our very favorite places...

...Stratford Ranch!!!! It had been too long since we've been and it is such a happy, peaceful, relaxing, healing place.  It is so good of Andrea and James to welcome us there so willingly.
A very good way to spend one's 13th birthday!
Adventures in the side-by-side



A laughter filled dinner and birthday brownie celebration-- including the Fox family tradition of going around and saying what we love about that person/roast.  Cannon was such a good sport.  My favorite contribution was Clark saying he loves Cannon because he waited through four sisters being born to finally get Cannon for a brother and Cannon was "Not a disappointment".  What a nice thing to say about someone-- they are not a disappointment:)
We played games,
games,
and more games.
The four of us hiked up to the top/back of the property-- it was awesome!

Abe found this flower for me:)

It's a treat for our boys to get to use Michael's bb gun.

We worked in this very enjoyable 1000 piece puzzle (thanks, Camille).   It was a good one for Memorial Day weekend.

We love Stratford Ranch so much and can't wait to go back!
