July 28 - Ryan’s Belated Birthday

On Ryan’s birthday this year (April 25), I was in the middle of my comprehensive exams for my PhD program. It was not a good time to host a birthday party. I have promised Ryan that we could take a few friends bowling for his belated birthday party. We FINALLY put it together! On July 28, we had his friends Etienne, Brigham, Mitchell, and Connor over for a party.

Ryan opened his gifts first: A Transformers sword from Mitchell, two Star Wars building sets from Connor, a football and pump from Etienne, and $11 (for his 11th birthday) from Brig.



The guys had a great time bowling. They were typical 11 year olds, and tried several unconventional bowling techniques. I had to rein them in a couple of times so we wouldn’t get kicked out.






After bowling, we went to A & W for rootbeer floats. The guys also had some sour candies and enjoyed laughing at each others’ silly sour faces.

Ryan had a great belated birthday!
