"Ryan's Day"

Every year we celebrate the day we finalized Ryan's adoption and he legally became a Garner. July 12th is the official date, and we call it "Ryan's Day." We try to make it a special day just for him alone with Mommy and Daddy. This year we took Ryan to the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) to celebrate. Ryan had a blast! There is so much to see and do that there is no possible way to do it in one visit. His favorite activity was the crane. It's a full scale model of a crane that you can work to pick up cargo and move it to a barge or a ship. We also watched a magic show, and Mommy got recruited to go up on stage. Ryan thought that was pretty funny to see Mommy up in front of everyone with the magician (so did Daddy!).

Ryan doesn't know it yet, but Gramie sent Ryan a gift so we can add it to the admission price we paid and get the annual membership for OMSI. Now we can go back and see and do everything at a slower pace and really get to enjoy all the museum has to do. Maybe we'll go this week as a matter of fact!

Sounds like a neat place! I didn't know you guys celebrated the day Ryan became an offical Garner. That's such an awesome idea!

We celebrate "Abby's Day" too. It's September 18th. It's funny, they're both five months and six days after their birthdays.
