celebration of Richard's birth

Richard's birthday was February 12th, so we decided it would be fun to tour Fremont with him. We walked from our house to the Troll on top of Troll Avenue.



Richard thought it was "a waste" for the statue to be crushing a VW Bug.

Then we walked to the Lenin Statue and then to the DINOSAURS! [if you haven't seen the dinosaurs, you must a.s.a.p.!] They're located on Canal Street, near where Richard is interning during his stay here in Seattle. Sadly, he had already seen the AWEsome dinosaurs and wasn't that impressed, because he rides his bike past them each morning. haha. Our final destination was Coldstone Creamery for some ice cream. Lucky for him, it's free on birthdays!

When we returned home, Cory iced a cupcake, Ben added a birthday candle, and Lindsey wrapped Richard's gift. We walked into the dining room, sang "Happy Birthday," and had Richard make a wish [another "American tradition"]. He unwrapped Heather's gift of some Dove chocolate bars that were wrapped in a Anime portrait of Richard. classic. then he unwrapped his early Valentines Day gift, big chocolate LIPS! he thought they were really funny, thankfully. :)

He owns a VW Bug buck home and that might have something to do with his dismay.

Thanks for updating so much. You're the best.
