Trent's Covid 11th Birthday

It's one thing to be an adult and celebrate your birthday in quarantine. It's another to be a kid. I guess the longer this goes on, the more people have to do this, ha. Luckily for us, our first COVID kid birthday was Trent's, and he hasn't had a 'big' party to celebrate his birthday in YEARS {he historically doesn't do well with large crowds for his birthday, so we stopped celebrating that way when he was 4}.

His birthday celebrations actually started when we went to celebrate my mom's birthday. He and Miles asked if they could spin the night together, so my sister and I decided to swap a kid - she took Trent, and I took Blair. 

I had Blair for 2 nights, and we traded kids back on Wednesday...except I also brought Miles home and didn't give Patty any other kids.

Friday afternoon, I also picked up Trent's best friend, Jaxon. His grandmother is our next door neighbor, and she couldn't handle not seeing her grandkids anymore about a month ago, so we've played a little with them. All Trent wanted to do was hunt Pokemon on our town square and have burgers for dinner. Easy enough!

My Pokemon birthday gang

After Pokemon Go and burgers, I promised the kids snow cones. Trent doesn't like cake or cookies, so I didn't get him a birthday cake. BUT both snow cone stands in our town were closed. Womp, womp. I spent $30 on candy at a gas station instead, ha!

Saturday afternoon, after dropping Jaxon off, and on the way to meet my sister, we finally found a snow cone stand!

Happy birthday, Trent!

On his actual birthday, June 30, he wanted to hunt more Pokemon, so I took the kids back to the square.

Masked up and ready to go!

{Nana-made masks, this is the weirdest thing ever}

Happy 11th birthday to this beautiful boy! {hold me}

We hunted Pokemon for about an hour and a half, and some of our neighbor friends were also on our square so we got ice cream together. 

All-in-all, I'd say Trent had about as good a birthday as he could have hoped for. We'll see if I handle it as well next month ha!
