We celebrated Finn's birthday over the weekend with a backyard slip n slide party.  It was a lot of fun for Finn and several of his close neighbor friends.  We tried to keep numbers really low and didn't invite entire families or extended friends this time around in an effort to keep the group small due to COVID.  But, we were happy to have a party at all.  We had a giant slip and slide with water, dish soap, and a 50 foot tarp.  We played some silly water games, had a water balloon fight, and ate hot dogs, chips, watermelon, and cake.  We were thankful the weather held out and it was hot and humid, but no thunder storms as were forecasted for most of the day.

For those who know Finn, you know he is one of the happiest, silliest, always smiling, always playing kids.  Finn would rather play with friends all day than play with toys.  He is outgoing, full of personality, and confident enough to walk up to any age kid and ask them to play.  He is 7 years old going on 17!!  He typically runs the show with his friends and many of them follow him.  He loves bagel bites, chocolate chip muffins, watermelon, and sour candies.  He enjoys painting, playing hockey and soccer, riding his bike, trading hockey cards, and doing whatever his brothers are doing.  He loves Luke and wants to be just like him.  He even talks about being a goalie one day!  We love you, Finn.
