‘Awesomly Awesome Awesomness’

Gregory’s birthday list consisted entirely of various Star Wars Lego items, each one with a description letting us know the degree to which the item was desired. Clearly, the drill set he wanted topped the list, having been given the highest ranking of all birthday list items: “awesomly awesome awesomness.” So, just for fun, I thought I’d share the picture above of Gregory and Bradley on the Tilt-a-Whirl at Point Pleasant. Rarely do I get the chance to see my offspring surrounded by pink. There’s not much pink in the Lego Land boy-aisle.

Gregory’s favorite thing about Point Pleasant: the bumper cars.

Second favorite: the arcade.

Or maybe second favorite is the beach.

Or sitting on the boardwalk eating ice cream.

But probably, miniature golf doesn’t even make the list.

Gregory thinks this hole should be listed at Par 23.

Sometimes the best part of a day at Point Pleasant is going home.

But by far the best part of being 7 is blowing straw paper at mom.

And making fun of Bradley when he gets silly.
(Bradley’s going to kill me for posting this picture, so if ya’ll never see me on here again, that’s why.)

And then there’s the yellow cake with vanilla icing.
