Eric is officially an adult in Nebraska now! I no longer have to take him to the doctor or dentist. That makes me sad though. I like doing those things with him.
We began his birthday celebration with a trip to an escape room here in Omaha. Melissa and her boys were in town so we dragged her along to help us solve the clues. Unfortunately, we got stuck and weren't able to break out. It was such a disappointment especially considering how close we were. The final clue had the letters B L O D Y. It was so easy but so difficult for us. All we had to do was rearrange them to spell Dolby and that would have unlocked the final lock. But we didn't even know if we had the correct letters to unscramble. Hopefully we will do better next week when we do another one with the twins.
We had ugly cake Saturday night so we could celebrate his birthday before Missy left the next morning.
On Eric's real birthday on Monday, we took him to a Japanese Steakhouse called Genji here in Omaha. He had been to Kobe several times recently so we wanted to try something new. It was good. Some things we like better at Kobe but that was ok. The kids enjoyed catching the flying food with their mouths.
We went home with plenty of leftovers. After dinner, we all sat on the couch to watch the Olympics and tried to recover from all that food. When we felt a little better, we dug into Eric's ice cream
cake.
I feel very blessed to be Eric's mom. He is wise beyond his years and he brings our family much joy and happiness. I am so sad that he will be moving back into his dorm in about 10 days. Boy will I cry again.
Happy Birthday Ericson!
