Over the weekend, while Ken was communing with nature, Ellie and I flew down to Va. for Sasha’s first birthday party. We made it there no problems or delays and the weather for the party on Sat was beautiful. A little warm but Monique’s yard came complete with built in shade. YAY!!

It was a everything you want in a good party. Super food, yummy cake, beautiful weather, pressies and loads of people who love you. Sasha is a very lucky girl and so are we to have her in the family. She even finished off the weekend taking her first steps on Sunday.

After the party, Mom, Dad, Ellie and I went to the Salem fair. We saw loads of interesting critters (both animal and human kind) and enjoyed cotton candy and a few rides.

All in all a great weekend. We made it home no problem and Ken didn’t get eaten by a bear.
