The Most Wonderful Birthday

I had the most wonderful birthday weekend.  It began with Robert taking off half the day Friday.  We went to P.F. Chang's for lunch.  As soon as the kids were picked up from school, I knew that we were to be prepared for an athletic outing.  The kids already knew what was planned; rock climbing at Tumblebees!  It was amazing. Both of the kids are super adventurous and climbed to the top many times.  Robert and I learned to tie the knots and belay each other and the kids.          


We headed directly to Green Valley for a delicious dinner shared with friends.  It is sort of like a covered dish; we took homemade peach ice cream.  Immediately after dinner I saw Robert and the kids scurrying off.  They came out with a delicious chocolate cake reading Happy Birthday Mom.  So sweet.  I felt so loved on.
Saturday was breakfast with Grandma and Uncle Eddie.  We then headed to Haight Orchard for some apple picking - a tradition now.  The rest of the day was enjoyed lounging around the pool and playing tennis with Uncle Eddie.



Sunday we continued to get accustomed to a new schedule in 1st Grade.  We enjoyed much needed family time reading, napping and playing games.  That evening we enjoyed a date to Bravo!, dessert from Fresh Market (Delicious was closed) and the movie The Butler.
We enjoyed a beautiful Labor Day around the pool and tennis courts.  It was a great long weekend!
Today, the actual birthday, the kids remembered immediately that it was my birthday!  We enjoyed a delicious dinner at Mythos (my favorite) and family game of Sequence.  I received many phone calls, emails, FaceBook messages and cards.  The card my family gave me is priceless.
I am the luckiest woman alive!
