Kaden's birthday celebration

Kaden's birthday will probably always fall on the first week of school – one of the worst times to celebrate your birthday with a sleepover as everyone is readjusting to the shock of an alarm going off and building back stamina into long days of listening & learning. 

We decided Kaden could have a sleepover party Labor Day weekend – when everybody gets an extra day to recover (not to mention I would be home that weekend to help).

Luckily the Amarillo Townclub decided to extend their pool hours and stay open on the weekends through Labor Day, so we kicked off his birthday festivities by taking everyone to Cornell's pool.
