August 20, 2005 Megan’s 13th Birthday Party

August 22, 2005

Wow!

First, I find it hard to swallow that I am now the dad of a 13 year old. (Geez, I must have been a boy when I had her!)

We had an awesome party, I think. It was great fun for me to plan it.

Meg had 7 friends come over…with no idea of our theme or plans. She kept pressing me for hints. Tempted though I was, I didn’t say a word.

Our theme was the Amazing Race. The girls were divided into 2 teams–the red team

and the blue team

— and then the fun began. Baby food tasting, a neighborhood scavenger hunt, a trip to our school playground, a local beauthy shop, the local public library and a mall …all with clues to lead them and their drivers made for a funny afternoon.

I know I am competitive but let me tell you something, some of these young ladies give me a run for my money. They were so into things, I thought I was going to have toget the NFL’s instant replay!

We ended the day at Miyako’s restaurant for a lovely meal, and I think a fitting end to a tiring but fun day.

And as old as I might feel, I am one of the luckiest people in the world. Megan has brought so much joy and laughter and wonder into the lives of Marlene and me.

WE LOVE YOU, MEG!!!!

  1. I’m real happy your 13 year old has brought you the happiness you have. Our 14 year old does not want to be here and Edith and I are getting to know that. Happy 13th birthday Megan. May God bless.
