Carrie said that she and Mason were up very early today, for a fund raiser walk-a-thon. She said she did 11 miles total and that Mason likely did close to 20!

Mason celebrated his 11th birthday today! What a great way to have a birthday, doing things to help others out, and get fit too! He got an ice cream maker from his uncle Roger and family. Mostly because Roger could not find the ice cream maker(s) that he has at home, and offered to bring some and stop by.

I am sure many 11 year-olds are not given ice cream makers. But after about 2.5 hours, the ice cream was great! Just s-l-o-w.

• Happy Birthday Mason!
