We finally celebrated Caleb's first birthday in style. We invited everyone from our church and immediate family and created a huge pile of brush in preparation for the bonfire party of the year. So, what happened?
The scheduled date drew nearer and the weather forecast for light rain slowly turned into a consistent downpour weather prediction. Obviously, we enforced a rain date of one week from the original date. The following Saturday promised a beautiful fall day, it was gorgeous and warm.
Unfortunately, as are most Autumn days, it was windy. Too windy. No fire permits were issued for the day. I am not one to cancel a party over a little wind, so we still planned on having a mob of people come over. Tyler, Eli and Jed started the party off by starting to build the ever hoped for tree house, but the real fun started when we lit a small cooking fire in the pit. Despite the lack of a large fire to burn off our eyebrows we had a wonderful time. Most people still came, and I learned that the fellowship with the people I love is what makes a party a blast!
