Since Wesley's birthday is exactly one week before Christmas, he always has a small indoor party. Now, he's had fun in the past, mind you, but this year he really wanted to do something fun and adventurous . . . OUTDOORS. So, on December 18, we had a quiet celebration at home and started planning for a half birthday in June. Below are some of the results of those plans. Wesley had a couple of his friends join him for a ropes course adventure at Lake Lanier. Wesley was concerned that it might not be challenging enough. I'll let you be the judge.
Wesley and Jacob Dickinson were the first to begin the rope climb to the top.
About 100 feet in the air
Looking good so far . . .
Everyone at the top with the course instructor.
Mike D. and Chuck leading the way for the first challenge.
Here they are crossing the rocking boards.
They were required to hold their partners hand the entire time.
Hey, Drew!
Will and Graham
Chuck, braving the criss-crossing rope challenge at station #3.
Now, doesn't this look like fun to you?
Jacob and Ethan working together.
They made it!
All that's left is to slowly lean back and drop to the the bottom. HA!
Exhausted, relieved, hot, sweaty, proud, and very glad that's over with.
After the ropes course was finished, we hung around at the water park for some extra fun. Here is my brave girl headed down the big scary blue waterslide. I can't remember the official name, but that's what I called it.
Way to go, Riley!
We finished out the evening with dinner at La Cazuela's with the Dickinsons. Our waitress was great! They brought out our cookie cake with a candle in it, sang "Feliz Cumpleanos", and even presented Wesley with a birthday sombrero. It was the perfect end to a perfect party day!
Happy 11 1/2 birthday, Wesley.

I didn't know Lanier had this!!! That looks so fun. I used to help "teach" the Project Adventure class at Berry and loved it. This is right there with that kind of thing. Looks like they had a lot of fun too.
