The big 6!

The Big 6!

Time sure does fly when you are having fun, and in a blink of an eye, I turned 6! (Can you believe it?)
This year's birthday as a little different than years past. We decided to pack up and head on a 9 day adventure after I finished Kindergarten and hit the open road! We drove the Lake Superior Loop, and boy was it fun! Here is a family picture from our trip:



Once again, I want to keep up with tradition I wanted to share with you my Top 10 things I enjoy now that I am the Big 6 (Which is what I consider to be classified as an "Adult" and not a kid!)

1. Ice Cream....Who doesn't love that delicious cold treat? I especially like it when my Grandpa comes to town and we have it for breakfast! (His tradition, which I am happy to join in on!)


2. Trains....shocker I know! All the years of updates, and one thing remains the same, I LOVE TRAINS!


3. Adventures...Between nature hikes, random festivals or just a surprise fun day, I love any adventure that comes my way!


4. Cooking....You can call me Chef Donovan! I love helping my mom cook, and we have decided that Sunday's are our cooking days together! Needless to say the kitchen is pretty dirty when we are done, but we love every minute of it!




5. MN Gophers....once again, I am a huge University of MN Gophers fan. Needless to say my mom and dad are not...they are big University of North Dakota fans! They are big rivalries, but what can I say...my cousin Jessica is a U of M Hockey Cheerleader, so her love for the Gophers rubbed of on me!

6. The Tooth-fairy....Boy-o-boy has she been busy! I have lost a total of 4 teeth so far, with a few more loose one right now! I get really excited to see the money she brings me (so I can put it in my piggy bank)!

7. Airplane Rides....Nothing I like better than to go on an airplane as we fly off to an adventure. (Or as I like to call airplanes, Mom's work!)


8. The Lake...I truly enjoy my time at the lake getting to sit by the campfire, swimming in the water and going fishing of course! (My cousin Dominic sure knows how to fish!)




9. Cousins...Spending time with my cousins Ben and Mateo is always a great time! We definitely give my mom and dad a run for their money, but we have a great time at our annual sleepover weekend!


10. Family...I love getting to spend time with my grandparents as often as I can! I was one luckly guy to have them all at my Kindergarten graduation!


Well, that about wraps things up for my 6-year recap! Hope you all enjoyed and stay tuned for more adventures to come....I have a long list of "To-Do's" for this upcoming year!!

Stay cool everyone! (Like me in my sweet shades!)
