Beloveds, my maternity leave had her 18th birthday this year! I tried to celebrate that I now have two kids and a grown up, but Kyla’s look of horror of not being a kid anymore stopped me quickly. We celebrated her adult responsibilities with an RV trip to Silverwood Theme Park. She was officially diagnosed with mild autism last winter, which stopped her not at all in continuing to straddle both high school and community college, working the same job for four years, and generally adulting.
We did our first day at Coeur d’Alene, which Dwayne has a big crush on. We both loved that for a Labor Day weekend, the town was pretty quiet. The kids got rock climbing in, Dwayne and I a long walk, we all dipped into the lake, and I found my perfect dining chairs at a local charity shop.
The girls and I did the fast and furious rides at Silverwood, after Kyla’s birthday breakfast burrito. It was a pretty sweet weekend together.
It got even sweeter when Gramma and Grandpa came over for cake and Kyla’s 3-day birthday came to a close. Happy birthday, beloved Kyla!
