Junie's 16th Birthday pt 2
Then it was on to our house, where they arrived around 3:30 in the morning. The last of the guests left in mid-afternoon. By all accounts it was a great birthday. To quote a very happy Junie, "I didn't cry!" (a first for her birthdays!)
Junie's 16th Birthday pt 1
To celebrate Junie's Sweet 16th, I’ll be taking
her on a road trip to the Mall of America in Bloomington MN. As she’s invited her 4 close friends, I’ll be
renting a larger car for the trip, so I do ask that extra care is taken when
eating or drinking on the road!
Because it is 5 hours away, we ask that your child be ready
at our house by 8am on August 7th. We’ll be staying in two rooms at
the Fairfield Inn and Suites in Bloomington (2401 American
Boulevard East, Bloomington, MN 55425) The stay includes a free breakfast and use of the
pool, so be sure to pack a swimsuit.
We’ll visit the Mall (which includes an amusement park
inside!), swim at the hotel, and eat at a locally famous burger joint to enjoy a “Juicy Lucy.”
We expect to return to Milwaukee very late on the 8th.
If you can’t pick up your child until the morning, they can stay overnight, but
please let us know.
We’re covering the transportation and hotel, as well as snacks
and birthday cake, but please bring money for the mall (inc the amusement park)
and meals.
Oh, and send us your favorite beverages and snacks so we can
prep for the road!
Please contact me with any questions or concerns at xxx-xxx-xxxx.

That's the text message we sent out to the parents of the Core Four - the four friends in Junie's immediate circle.
Alas, the trip ended before it began. The rental car company gave away the seven-seater she reserved and offered Lisa a five seat vehicle. Never mind the fact that seven people (Lisa, Junie, her friends, and Grandma) headed out to Minnesota. She even went down to a second car rental agency and got the same result. All this, after waiting in line for a good long time.
Thankfully, my Mazda seats seven. So Lisa called me and had me bring it back from work and exchange it with her own car. After a couple hours unexpected delay, they were on the way.

Smiley's 1st Day of Work
Well today is my baby boy’s birthday! He’s off bright and early to start his first day of work EVER on his 15th bday! If you’re stopping at the Bay View McDonald’s don’t embarrass him too bad! Excited for him and really proud. I wish I could post a pic of him in his uniform but he made me promise I wouldn’t. Kids. - Lisa
