Today is my baby’s eleventh birthday.
Although, in truth, I don’t know if Ezra was ever a baby. Even though he’s the baby he’s one of those kids that came out ready to roll and should have come with a crash helmet and knee pads. He’s always kind of been a full grown bull moose in a small body. His body is catching up now, and there’s very little he won’t tackle, for better or for worse.
In celebration of the beginning of 11 I thought I’d share a few highlights from 1o and express my public gratitude to my youngest son, who single handedly boosts our blog ratings with his continuing parade of antics.
Such as:
Riding elephants in Pai, Thailand
Setting a fishhook into his foot on Nai Yang Beach
Grasping the depth of the Killing Fields in Cambodia
In which Ez points out the obvious on the Laos-Cambodia border
In Singapore, in which he becomes one of Michael Jackson’s kids
In which he gets lucky with monkeys, in Borneo… again
Then there was his escapade with leeches… in the grocery store… in Malaysia
Losing his first moneyed bet on a cock fight in Indonesia
Or locking himself in the old Cromwell Courthouse safe
And of course his infamous lemon caper upon entering NZ
Today we are celebrating with cake and ice cream and a few presents in Paraparaumu.
He’s already plotting where he’d like to turn twelve!
Happy Birthday, Ezra!!!
Hello:
Happy Birthday Ezra! Our son just turned 16 July 5th. We celebrated home in Washington. He too is a little adventurous. He went paragliding as his present. I was not as excited.
Happy Birthday Ezra!!
Curtis, Ezra replies, “That’s cool and Happy Birthday to your son!”
Happy Birthday! Watching the videos and reading about your adventures puts a huge grin on my face – I can’t help but think of my own boys and wonder if they will get to have as many adventures on our (minimum) year-long trip (that we plan on starting next year!)
Sheralyn, I am SO excited for you guys!! It’s going to be amazing!
