Happy Birthday Max

He is 8 today!

He is fantastic!

He is a joy to be around!

We love him! His sisters (all 3 of them) love him soooooo much. And so do JEM and I.

He had a lovely blog post written about him by someone who is fantastic and a joy to be around. Read it here - Max is Great.

He is going to a ball game today with some friends and will get his presents first thing in the am.

He will be getting gifts from Uncle Harry, Uncle Buck and Uncle Louis. It is going to be a good birthday if you are Max.

p.s. I learned the coolest, neatest, perhaps best camping/camp fire tip of all today. Apparently it is hard to bake over a campfire. I have never tried, perhaps b/c I have never had the patience to wait for anything longer than a marshmellow cooking on the fire.

A VERY experienced camper told me that if you want to bake something dessert-like in a fire you....

cut the top off an orange. Scoop and eat the orange. Pour your batter in the orange shell. Put the top back on, wrap in tin foil and place in the fire. It bakes in the orange. This would have blown my mind when I was a kid.
