at a great big Camporall.\u00a0 For a boy, what could beat BB target shooting, archery, and whittling your own walking stick?\u00a0 Let&#8217;s not forget building a campfire and those traditional S&#8217;mores.\u00a0 By the time the S&#8217;mores were happening, I had returned to the comfort of home with the non-birthday boys.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a rel=\"attachment

favorite Japanese restaurant, yesterday we took a trip in to DC.\u00a0 When we asked our birthday boy what he wanted to do for his big day, he knew exactly where he wanted to go&#8230;. to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.usbg.gov\/gardens\/national-garden.cfm\">National Garden<\/a>.\u00a0 Now not every 10 year old would chose to look at plants on their birthday, but our guy, he<em> insisted<\/em> on looking through each section twice to be\u00a0sure to see EVERY plant there.\u00a0 It is truly one of his passions.\u00a0 Where he got the green thumb, I just don&#8217;t know.\u00a0 I ask him now for advice when it comes to anything green that comes in to our house!<\/p>\n<p>This outing gave <em>me<\/em> the opportunity to pursue one of my passions, and that&#8217;s taking plenty of pictures.\u00a0 I&#8217;m putting a bunch right here.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-4291\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sweetbeadstudio.com\/?attachment_id=4291\"><img
