We went to play at Benson's Great Grandma's house for his birthday and for Memorial Day. That is also where we had cake and gave Benson his last present, a bubble blowing lawn mower.
The only problem was it took a minute of pushing to get the bubbles going, and once they started Benson stopped pushing so he could catch them and then they stopped. He thought he could "hit" some bubbles out of it for a little while.
I had this great idea of making a guitar cake since that seems to be Benson's favorite thing these days. But icing a cake in a home with no air conditioning while it is 90 degrees made for a few complications. Also the store was out of the pull and peel Twizzlers so the strings are a little larger than they should be, but Benson said guitar as soon as he saw it, so I declare it a success.
We got a slip and slide to play with but the pouring rain seemed to be enough water fun. Benson loved splashing in this bird bath.
There is a cemetary right by Grandma's house and this group of 20 motorcycles came to visit for Memorial day and on their way out, one of them stopped in the yard to wave to Benson and let him see the 'big bike" up close.
We made a cookie cake for Grandma since her birthday was just a few days before Benson's. Here he is decorating it with Ali.
Of course Benson knows the best part is licking your fingers.
