David Turns 12

David turned 12 today! To celebrate the day, it was his special request to go roller skating. OMG. If ice skating wasn't bad enough a few years back! The Whitney boys are talented at many things, but any activity that requires them putting on some type of "skates" is usually not good.

Here we are at the Cache Valley Fun park. We soon discovered that rollerskating was one thing that David could "naturally" do better than his big brother.

Poor Josh, he looked like a fish on wheels!


I do say, that my boys at least gave all the onlookers a good chuckle. Their ups & downs ... and more ups & downs... drew quite a little crowd. Luckily, the boys took it all in stride.

Afterwards, we headed home for a David's favorite dinner - homemade pizza. Aunt Molly, was on hand to help us celebrate afterwards with presents, cake, and ice cream.

So what is the best thing about turning 12? David is finally old enough to join the Civil Air Patrol. He has been attending some introductory sessions and will formally enroll next week. He is very very excited.
