Happy 9th Birthday Jack!

A birthday brings with it so much excitement and anticipation and 
Jack has been in count down mode for over a week. 
Thankfully I don't think he was disappointed.

My Birthday

By Jack

Mum wrote a note and put it in each balloon. I had to come up with a different way to pop the balloon each time to find out which present I was allowed to open. My friend Theo and I had lots of fun trying different ways. We could even sit on them and wriggle without the balloon bursting!

I felt really lucky to get presents all the way from New Zealand!

We hiked up to Prafandaz for a picnic lunch. With my favorite lollies (from Grandma), Chocolate Gateau,  chips and  Iced Tea. Then we played tag with my nurf guns.

After a late night of talking and laughing with Theo and wanting to wake up early to open my presents, we were both a little pooped!

In the afternoon we went down to the valley because Dad had racing on at the velodrome.

I had McDonald's for tea! The first time in months. That was a treat.

We dropped Theo home and watched a little bit of cycling, but I really wanted to get home and jump into my  soft bed and read my new books.

I think turning 9 is cool because my next birthday I will be 10! Double figures as dad says.

This was my first birthday away from New Zealand. I wonder where else in the world I will spend my future birthdays?

Thank you to everyone for all my awesome presents and messages.

From Jack.
