My boy is 15 years old.
omg.
First of all, how in the world do I have a 15 year old?
It's amazing how fast time flies, especially once you have kids. :(
Next year my boy will already be driving!!
How is that possible?
I think back to when I was 15 and I'm scared to death for him to be this age! This is about the age that I kinda went a little crazy!!
But he's a good boy.
I think.
It will be alright.
I'm sure....
Anyways, Gage's birthday party this weekend was so much fun! I booked an awesome two bedroom, two bath, kitchen, and living room suite....here in town.
The suite was big, but our group was bigger. Me, Leah, Marianne, Adrien, Gage, Travis, Derek, Andrew, Zoe, Ariel, Lucia, Noa, Jack for a little while. He mostly stayed home with his dad, though.
Friday, I left work early to go buy groceries and decorations. I bought a huge Justin Bieber V.I.P. Party door cover. hahahaha. Purple plates, Justin Bieber napkins, lots of balloons, Happy Birthday signs. We always tease Gage about loooooving JB.
Of course, he's like every teen boy and thinks he gay. So, that was pretty funny.
I thought.
Lucia loved it, of course. haha.
So, Friday nights adventures were fun.
We first went looking for Witches Gate, but no one could really remember where exactly it was. So then we went to the old abandoned Insane Asylum. It was super scary!! The cops were called on us. But the (good looking) cop was awesome and talked to us for about 10 minutes. He even told us some stories he had heard about the place. He said we could stay as long as wanted. He just wanted to make sure we weren't gang bangers or drug dealers. haha. We wanted to have him take a picture with Gage, so he'd have a good story about how the cops were called on him on his 15th birthday. haha. But the cop said they're not allowed to do that anymore. Apparently cops used to take pictures with people on scavenger hunts, but they were altered and put on the internet. haha. So, yeah...they're not allowed to do that anymore!
Then we went to an old scary cemetary at the end of a road (out towards where I live..not cool). It was pitch black, but we kept seeing a little light flash in the distance. We scared ourselves silly and ran from the cemetary. I couldn't find Gage and started freaking out, asking everyone,"Where's Gage? Where's Gage?"
Yeah, he and Travis had ran off to run around the cemetary. ugh. They thought that was hilarious.
So not funny.
Then we picked up some Taco Bueno (yum!) and headed to "Pinky's Cave". Which pretty much sucked.
But the rest of the night was fun. :)
Saturday nights adventure was even more fun than the night before. We went to another cemetary. A huge cemetary that has like 3 levels. It wasn't as scary as the small cemetary we went to the night before, though.
Then we went to Shashony Park (I think that's how you spell it?).
This is a big camp site out by Lake Arrowhead. There are tons of trails and it's super dark. We drove around, got out and walked around a few times. The boys would get out and walk beside the car, or on top of the car, or on the bumper, or just sitting in the back with the back open, hanging their legs out.
It was a lot fun.
I think we had more fun staying in town than when we went to the cabins. The boys were able to go to the mall and do other stuff around town during the day.
I loved being able to lay in bed during the day, while they were out, just reading or watching movies.
:)
Happy Birthday to my boy!!

Witches Gate is out on 287 headed towards Henrietta. YOu can see it from the highway and it's just a creepy looking as when I was a kid!!
I can't get over that Gage is 15 either!! How did that spikey haired little boy with glasses that looked just like the little kid from Jerry Maguire grow up so quickly?!?!
I am so glad you are a cool mom and that I always get an invite to your boy's fun birthday parties!! I love it! I had SOOOO much fun this weekend :) Such a fun, relaxing and spooky (since I am a chicken!!!) time :) I needed that and so I appreciate you sooooo much :)
Can you believe that it was Gage and not Leah that scared the crap out of me this year?!?! hahaha Shashony Park was the scariest to me at first. Just because it was so dark out there!!! But the little cemetary on the DEAD end was creeeeepy!!!! And the orbs and "faces" in the photos....ugh soooo scary!!! But oh so fun! :) I still can't get over the fortune in that cookie either!!
I guess that's what we get for staying in room 333 on the THIRD floor :) hahahaha
Thanks again for an amazing weekend! Love you!!!!
