It was Ella's birthday and we packed it all in! It was as busy as a pre-CoVid times and Amy and I were exhausted by the next morning. Grandparents met us all after school and we made an early reservation at A' Bravo for dinner. It was a great meal and the four different cars headed out to go to their respective places. A post surgery Sophia took Grace back home. Grandprize and Merrick headed there too to unload some fire wood quick before heading to black strip testing at Karate. Ella was already dressed for her band concert and headed off to get tuned up for the last performance, and first, of the year. Jan, Nancy and I chilled a little longer before setting off to watch the band. The acoustics in the gym were poor, as expected and the seating was limited but it was great to see some normalcy as the various bands worked through their pieces. With the final applauses dying off Ella was off for a wardrobe change and donned her Lacrosse gear and trotted across the parking lot to join the scrum already playing. She banged it out on the turf in a close game before we made it back to the house about 9:30 for some birthday cake. Of course it was a Grace classic, lemon cake. 17 isn't the the most exciting birthday in terms of rites of passage, but we sure made the most of the performance angle either way!
