Carson's 7th Birthday

It's hard to believe my boy is 7 years old! He is such an amazing person and I am so fortunate to be his mom. He is bursting with new ideas daily and contributes so much to our family. I feel like he is not only my son, but he is my friend and I love spending time with him every day. He is a thoughtful and caring brother and is such a positive role model.
His big birthday wish was to go visit a science museum in Louisiana that currently has a Star Wars exhibit. That's a 7-hour drive!
We started his birthday with a quick breakfast and he opened a few gifts (one of which is a helium tank which is 'just what he wanted' for experiments!). After that, I finished packing and we hit the road. The trip was pretty good and just 30 minutes from our destination, we watched a beautiful fireworks grand finale. We called them Carson's birthday fireworks :)
Finally, in our hotel room in our pajamas, we sang Happy Birthday, ate some cake and installed his computer flight simulator - his first computer game. He was so excited!
