The day was a rough one for Cali (and probably Josh, but he had work to take his mind a bit away from reality). We first took Oak to a friend's party out by their house. It's amazing how just driving in the car can wipe Cali out, so when we got home at lunch time she slept the rest of the afternoon away! But her honey Josh had planned a birthday party for Mac; he had invited family and friends on the down-low to meet at Mac's park at 8 pm.
So when Cali and Josh pulled up...
...this is what she saw!...
There was a very bitter-sweet singing of Happy Birthday...
...then the releasing of balloons so McKallister and Quincy had something to play with in heaven.
(I love this picture with the big bunch of balloons in the upper left corner, a small bunch that Oak and Cali sent off together in the lower left corner and the moon in the upper right.)
Some of the balloons got stuck in the tree, not sure they wanted to leave the fun of the party!! And who could blame them?...
...all the kids, big and small, really had a great time at Mac's park...
...and they even got to run through some sprinklers...
and with a beautiful sunset to end the day...
...we got to be reminded again of our angel baby on his special day, and now he has his little brother with him forever!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY McKALLISTER!! WE LOVE YOU!!!
