Benson's 1st birthday was yesterday and we celebrated in All-American style! Once a year BJ's dental school is treated to a tasty meal and box seats at the local baseball team by a local dental practice.
Last year's event happened a few days after Benson was born so he and I stayed home while BJ and McKay went to the game. They came back thrilled with it all. BJ and McKay watched the game, played catch on the sidelines, and McKay got a foul ball. It sounded like so much fun we all decided to go again this year.
This year's game landed on Benson's birthday so we all went and had a great time. None of us saw much of the game but we enjoyed the food and friends immensely. Here we all are, attempting to get Benson's birthday hat on him.
Speaking of that birthday hat, while we were in the car driving to the game, McKay kept saying from the back seat, "Mom, can I have that space ship?" I couldn't figure out what in the world he was talking about until, at a stop light, I turned around and saw him pointing at Benson's birthday hat. For the rest of the evening he carried around his "space ship", flying it through the maze of tables. We had to pry it out of McKay's hands to get a picture of Benson wearing the birthday hat.
Happy Birthday Benson!
