Last Sunday we headed over to hang out at the Kaos.  Stuart and I went straight to the kitchen to chat with Michelle and Ted, while the boys gathered in the family room to play with Mckayla and Marcus.  Later Robyn, Peyton, Jennifer, Jesselyn and Jayden arrived to join us.  We snacked for awhile and finally the kids asked to go swimming.  All the kids plus Stuart and I got ready and jumped inside the pool.  Logan felt comfortable as soon as he realized that he could stand in part of the pool.  Connor had fun playing in water while holding on to either Stuart and I.  All of us played with water guns or just swam around.  Later Dave and Brandon arrived and Brandon went into the pool as well.  After quite a long time, slowly one by one, we came out and cleaned up.  The kids were hungry and filled up with snack, then immediately went inside the house to play.  Then it was the adults’ turn to snack and to enjoy the yummy BBQ taco meal Ted made for us.  At some point, the kids were gathered to enjoy some tacos too.  After everyone was stuffed with food, the kids returned to play inside the house and later migrated out to the backyard.

    Michelle was kind to have suggested celebrating Logan’s belated birthday during this gathering.  Logan was surprised to receive some awesome gifts from the Zhangs and the Tsaos.  He had already broke into the gifts and played with some of them.  When the dessert time came, Logan was a bit shy with the cake, the candles and the happy birthday song.  He was embarrassed with the attention, but could not stop smiling.  He blew the candles and everyone enjoyed Logan’s favorite chocolate cake.  The kids went back out to play to burn off the sugar.  Before the end of the gathering, Mckayla also took out a present from the Kaos for Logan; she even took time to show everything to Logan.  We had a wonderful time on Sunday as usual and Logan was also showered with all the pleasant surprises.
