For Wade's Birthday, we went up to Idaho to celebrate. Originally it looked like we wouldn't be able to make it. We had several things happening that day, or the next morning. But, the kids decided they would rather go up to celebrate, so we decided to go without Blaine (who was teaching that night). I headed towards Ogden, and got a call that Blaine was able to get a sub at the last minute, so he was following us up.
We ate some of Wade's favorite party food (mostly anything that didn't have to be prepared in any way), and played a dice game (I won- but who's counting haha). At the end of the night we lit a lantern I bought in San Francisco. It was much bigger than I was expecting, and it took a bit to fill up with the warm air, but once we got it, it was really cool to watch. It went across the field and then off a long ways. It was pretty neat.
We also stopped by his head stone. I was really glad we were able to go up and be with the rest of the family to commemorate the day. It was a tough day thinking about Wade. There were a few tears shed, but mostly we were grateful that he was a part of our lives for as long as he was.
