Lake is Eight! Isn’t that great!?

He’s growing up so well and handsomely. He’s a caring big brother and proving to be a born thespian!

To celebrate we had a small yet lovely pirate party with family and friends at Gasworks— which had become a bit of a tradition for Lake.

The weather held off, it was mild with little to no wind which was welcome for the candles and the standers but not so for the kites of Kite Hill (Westport is the winner for wind)…

We played Pass the Parcel, Lucky’s Dad’s way…

Plenty of sword fighting was enjoyed by some,

And the small crew of pirates forsook to board one of the many unsuspecting passing boats. Alas they were not successful there, but overall a successful party was enjoyed by all.

A perfect birthday. I’m glad I spent it with you!
