Remi's 16th Birthday...

Remi's 16th birthday was such a fun day!

His wish was to spend it with Elle, so after picking her up, we headed to Top Golf for some just-for-fun golf and a little bite before lunch. It always gets a little competitive with Micah and the boys, but lets just say, I for sure didn't win, haha! On the way to the one surprise of the day, we popped into In-N-Out Burger for lunch. 

Micah and I decided to throw in a little surprise iFly fun to the birthday mix! I wasn't sure Remi would agree to doing it, but knew everyone would think it was fun- you know Remi, he really likes things to be his idea. It was of course, lots of fun, and we all had a good laugh over the jumpsuits, goggles and helmets! And I don't want to burst any bubbles, but between you and I, our trainer would tell you I was the best flyer! 

Next up, we paid Scheels a visit until our Escape Room reservation. Micah, Roen, and I shopped (you know Roen, he always finds something he needs), while Remi and Elle took a ride on the giant ferris wheel. I would have loved to ride the ferris wheel, but I didn't really think they would love mom joining and well, shopping.... Roen gets it from somewhere, haha!

Remi LOVES escape rooms and we tried to keep everything in the same area so we weren't driving all day long. We ended up booking the Gold Rush room at The Escape Game in the Colony. This was for sure, the nicest and best escape room I have ever done! Of course, us escaping in time made it all the more fun! 

We made it home early enough that Elle got to hang out with Remi for the rest of the evening. They never really want to separate and are cute as pie together, but I did give them until 10:30 before we took her home!

It was such a fun day, watching Remi and Elle's sweet little friendship, Roen just tagging along, happy as can be! I can't think of a single thing I'd change, except maybe it could have lasted just a wee bit longer!

And the next morning, his wish was to go to her church (the church Micah grew up going to). Since it was his actual birthday and I can't think of anything cuter than them going to church together, we said yes and enjoyed every minute of getting to sit with family while at it! He has since, talked us into letting him drive him and Roen to Wednesday night church to be be with Elle and always ends the night with a dinner date and driving her home! I really do love that they get to do church together!

So much FUN!! I can’t think of anything better to celebrate Remi!! I can only imagine how competitive Top Golf gets for Micah & the boys!! The pictures of IFly are the best.😉 I had always wanted to skydive but never did it…so maybe I need to go to IFly. And shopping…we all know who Roen got that from 😂😂. Ending with The Escape Room was great. So glad y’all escaped!! Sure a special day for you all! Remi stole all our hearts…16 years ago!! ♥️
