"Look at me - I'm one!"
"Oooh, that chocolate cake my Mommy made is really good!"
We had to take a few family pictures, too.
Maddox has always been fascinated by Chuck's mustache.
Maddox had about had it by the time we got to the grandparents picture.
None of us are squirming, though! What a fun day!
Happy Birthday! 
We started the day by waking up Heidi and Maddox at about 9:30 when we showed up at their doorstep. We watched Maddox for a bit while Heidi had a chance to enjoy an uninterrupted shower. He still looks a little sleepy!
After Maddox's bath, he entertained us by sharing his favorite books, and letting us know all the off-limits things in the living room. He'd start to crawl towards the TV, then stop, turn to us, and say "no-no."
He also demonstrated his new walking skills - yeah, Maddox!
Then we headed for MOA and Underwater World. Maddox was fascinated with all of the fish, especially the sting rays that swam right over our heads. It was so much fun to watch his expressions as he checked out everything.
He even got to touch some sharks and sting rays in the petting pool. Actually, he did more splashing than petting, but he had the right idea. His arms just weren't quite long enough! We're looking forward to helping him celebrate his first birthday next weekend. I can't believe he's already a year old. How time flies!

Sorry, Corey. I couldn't resist!
It still looks a bit soggy, doesn't it? Jenna and Corey drew names to make up 3 teams of 3 players each. The teams were: #1 - Chuck, Jane, and Corey; #2 - Pat, Andy, and Joyce; and #3 - Ted, Jenna, and Paul. Our plan was to play best ball, and since there were NO other crazy players on the course, all nine of us set off for the first tee together.
Are we having fun yet?? We all teed off, and then each team made their next shot from their team's best drive, and so on. We were a bit slow as we made our way around the course, but it was really fun to all stick together and cheer for all the great (?) shots. Needless to say, there were a few duffs, too.
It started to sprinkle on about the 3rd hole, and Chuck's umbrella turned completely inside out in the wind. I missed the picture and the surprised look on his face, and by the time I got my camera out, he had it staightened out.
Here's dead-eye Jenna as she putts. Actually, Pat had the putt of the day on the very first hole to help her team get a birdie. What a way to start!
And the winning team is.....
Ted, Jenna, and Paul, with a winning score of 32! We started a traveling trophy, so we'll see who gets it next year. It was great fun, even with the soggy weather! After golf, we headed back to our house where Heidi and Maddox joined us for supper. Maddox will probably be golfing with us next year!
