Thirty-five!!!

In honor of turning 35 and his fascination with fire, I made Gabe a creative cake for his birthday. Two of his favorite things are zombies and camping, but for me it wasn't much of a toss up in deciding what type of cake to make. I had to deviate from the original directions and was worried it wouldn't turn out as I had envisioned, but it actually worked out better.

Campfire Cake

I was able to bring in the zombie theme with an altered version of "Don't Eat Pete".
(But I have to give credit it to Elizabeth for making it for me, thanks!)

Gage especially enjoyed playing the game, but we bent the rules a little and let him eat Zombie Pete.

Goblin Valley

Gabe took the 4 older kids camping last weekend to Goblin Valley.  They had a lot of fun, got really dirty (the inside of our van is covered in a film of red dust), and made lots of good memories.
