Mike's 11th Birthday

Michael just had a birthday! 



His Nana was in town on his birthday, so we went to the Health and Sciences Museum.  The museum is really small, but all the exhibits were fun and interesting, so we enjoyed ourselves.
Mike got a new bike on his birthday.  We went and picked it up,  and then he was so excited to ride it, that when we went to the Olive Garden for dinner- he wanted to get it out and ride it around for a while. That was really fun for him.
Michael just earned his Super achiever badge at Webelos, and now he is in11 year old scouts.  11 year olds scouts is a lot more fun because the kids can go on camp outs, and do more interesting Boy Scout things.
 
 
Mike is in 5th grade this year.  He is in a new school- an intermediate school.  At this new school, he has 5 different teachers, a locker, and gets to do band.  He has chosen to do drums in band.   He likes playing the drums, but he HATES practicing.  He loves to learn, and has really been embracing that part of him.  He is in the Readers are Leaders club, the Science Club, doing math contests, and trying to get the most points for reading the most books in his grade.  He is great with computers- we often ask him o fix things when we get confused or something gets stuck.  He is working on designing a website for his Nana's business.  He is growing really tall. He still hasn't caught up to Adam, but he is getting close.  He is currently 58 1/2"tall.   We sure are lucky to have Michael as part of our family!
