Today was Corwin’s thirteenth birthday. Early in the morning he opened what few presents he gets these days — books, clothes, and an RC helicopter. He liked the helicopter. After that it was time for a soccer game, the last of the season. While we were there Mom, Alice, Charles, and Grandma headed off for Alice’s first recital, at which Charles also played. Corwin and I headed home after the game, got Corwin showered, then were off to Corwin’s birthday party which was at a laser tag facility. He had 7 of his friends show up, which was a good number. They played a couple of games of laser tag, had some pizza, burned up a bunch of quarters we gave them in the arcade, spent a long time picking out prizes for the tickets they won in the arcade, went out for some ice cream, then went back for a couple more games of laser tag. Charles and Mom showed up after the first game of laser tag. Grandma took Alice off for some bonding experience. Overall I think they had a good time.
