Today was Houston's birthday. He turned the big one seven (17). An age where young gamers can finally buy "M" rated games, and when teens can finally watch "R" rated movies without there ever-loving parents present to buy the tickets. For his birthday we camped out at the Land between the Lakes in Kentucky. Also, as a special treat, Suependa (our tour mom), bought pizza and ice cream for dinner.
But one of the most memorable moments of the day came when we met a local camper named Kirsten Herndon. All of the guys met her on our way to the basketball courts. Born and raised in Kentucky, she gave us a tour of the campground and later invited Houston and the gang back to her RV for s'mores. With this being only the second time of the trip we had s'mores, we kept burning the marshmallows; but it didn't really matter because we were too busy having fun telling Kirsten and her family about our trip, and cracking jokes on one another. To me, this was the funnest night of the trip -- meeting some really cool people and sharing our story over s'mores and hotdogs. We all loved hanging out at their campsite and when we finally had to leave, (which ended up being around midnight), we promised to keep in contact, which we still do. Needless to say, the calm and chill night at the campsite with our new best friend from Kentucky, Kirsten, was a birthday to remember.
