As the cruising season progressed, the kids figured out that several of them have September birthdays and that it was possible if not likely that we would not all be together for all of them. So, they got the idea to have a “September Birthday Party” in July. They ended up pulling it together while we were in Musket Cove (the second time), and they had the party on Nautilus. Victoria made a cake (of course!) and Alex and Brenden made snickerdoodle cookies to take over, and the kids all made presents for each other. The birthday kids were Brenden, Gigi (Nivana), Victoria (Fluenta), and Seppe (Nautilus). Since it was only a couple days before Alex’s August birthday, they decided it would be OK to include him to, so I guess technically it was an August/September birthday party. I wasn’t there for all of the fun and shenanigans, but luckily Nautilus shared some photos:
Yes, that’s my son grabbing the sharp end of the knife
It seems Alex scored the best birthday present!
