Happy 9th Birthday Avery!

 Avery and Banana 9 years!  He is still a good sport with Banana.

 He asked for a homemade ice cream cake this year.  

 And homemade pizza for dinner.  He wanted to make his own and he ate the whole thing!

 He and Alia were practicing their soccer skills with the new goals Grandma and Grandpa Davis gave him for his birthday.  These goals are great because they fold down and fit in a bag.  

 

 For his birthday we bought a geocache box and filled it with his gifts and then hid it.  He had to use the gps to find his gift.  

 We filled the box with Ex Pokemon cards, a trackable geocache whale to hide later, treats, coins and Alia's gift.  We are going to fill the box and hide our very own geocache with a trackable in it.
