Nine!

Mason turned 9 and celebrated his birthday on the Sand Dunes in Death Valley.  We spent Spring Break in Death Valley, more posts on that to come. We spent a little time on the dunes as a family but Mason wanted to explore further so Eric took him back on his birthday, just the two of them.  They learned the sand is a little hot in the afternoon sun, our previous trip was in the morning. 

Mason is an easygoing 9 year old.  Some of his likes right now:
Reading Percy Jackson, Harry Potter and Fablehaven
bacon, pizza, apples, burritos, vanilla ice cream
soccer, legos, 4-square at recess, jumping on the trampoline and piano
Mason is responsible, smart, happy and likes to be on time 
He also knows how to push his younger sister's buttons when he thinks no one is paying attention

Happy 9th Birthday Mase!
