It’s hard to believe that it was only 16 years ago that Christian was born, a bouncing baby boy with lungs that made themselves known in an unforgettable, yet somehow tuneful way. It’s hard to believe that it was only last month that we were singing Christian a birthday song at the top of our lungs, purposefully out of tune in the joking way that made us all cringe. It is also hard to believe that the ‘baby’ of the family now needs to be addressed as sir because he is taller than all of us.
We celebrated Christian’s birthday on the road. He doesn’t eat any sweets so we made him an apple and grape cake with a few candles.
We all sprayed our hair with white streaks to sympathize with his advanced age and decked the bus with streamers and balloons. We blared music from the party bus and played games as we traveled.
When we got to the Canadian border the guards weren’t impressed but eventually they let us pass and we continued our journey to Alaska and beyond!
