Mason’s birthday party

When we pulled in the driveway coming home from our trip – Meg’s husband Mike picked us all up & brought us home – Mason was in the middle of his birthday party. He has had it here at our house every year for many years – what could be better than nerf gun wars in the woods 🙂 His buddy Austin had to leave before we thought to get a picture, but here he is with Felix, in the white shirt (new at the party this year. They had always gone to the same elementary school together, but had never been in classes together until they got to middle school this year), Brayden (his mom Katie and her twin brother Josh went all the way through school & were good friends with Andrew), and Branson (his aunt is my dear friend Pam’s daughter-in-law). Good bunch of kids.
