When you turn the age that matches your date of birth - it's called a golden birthday. So for instance, I turned 25 on the 25th this year - so it was my golden birthday. Eric had his when he turned 14 since he was born on the 14th.
Since I was a little girl, and my mom ever explained that to me, I wanted to do something crazy and fun for my birthday. I thought of going to Paris or Australia, or just somewhere so exciting, but then ending up deciding to go back to WA and do 25 things I did when I was younger.
So this might take a couple blogs, but here goes - my 25 things:
1. Have a chicken burger 2. Have homecooked fries
3. Have homemade salsa
3. Have lemon pie - my parents made a ton of these and they were DELICIOUS!
4. Go to the science center - I always forget to get a picture of this, but the bridge breaks the water up so one side is windy and one is calm. Cool, huh?
The science center has changed a lot since I've last gone - I wish they'd bring back the HUGE playspace they got rid of when I was in junior high or high school.
There's a butterfly house in the science center.
They even hatch their own too!
The water toys at the Science Center - MJ is playing with one in this picture.
The water again
6. Go to the IMAX theater. The IMAX theater is huge. One of the biggest in the country, in fact. We went and saw Pirates of the Caribbean II.
7. When I was younger, my mom told us how Stephanie's middle initial could have been "O" instead of "S" if my grandma had her way. Ever since then, we've always played the ABBA song "S.O.S." and made pancakes with our initials, and always made hers "S.O.S".
And that's all for now. More later.
