Jack's 7th Birthday
Sharon picked Jack up from school and took him to play minature golf at Paradise Island. They ended up playing 36 holes. Jack had a great time; on the way home, he said that this was the best birthday ever. We finished up the evening celebrating his 7th birthday with cake and presents.

Sloughhouse, prominent hotel and stage station on the road to the Amador mines, was a favorite stopping place for travellers, notably Leland Stanford. Constructed in 1850 by Jared Dixon Sheldon, it was destroyed by fire in 1890, and rebuilt the same year. Many descendants of pioneers of the community of Sloughhouse, which developed near Sheldon's establishment, still reside in this fertile valley of the Cosumnes.

A Birthday Party and A Dinner
Jack spent the middle of the day at a birthday party for one of his classmates at Chucky Cheese. While he was gone, Sharon and I worked to get the house cleaned up. Andrea and her new husband Joey came for dinner. We barbecued some steaks and aspargus for the main course.

7th Birthday Party
We had Jack's 7th Birthday Party at Paradise Island. After his birthday party last year, I swore that we would not try to do another one at the house.
We headed up with six boys from his classes (Timmy, Johnny, Joe, Andrew, Jeffery, and Cody). The boys had a great time. They played in the arcade for a while and then we had pizza, presents and cake in one of the rooms. Afterwards, they went back out to the arcade. Eventually, we herded them outside and spent an hour and a half riding rides, including the Scrambler, Bumper Cars, a Super Slide, Indy Cars and Bumper Boats. A nice mix of parents stayed and Sharon and I had a chance to visit with them while the kids rode rides.
I felt like it was a successful kid's birthday party. I will post a photo album from the party in the next couple of days.

2005 Soccer Jamboree
Jack and I spent the morning at the West Lake Soccer Club Jamboree at Bartholonew Park. Jack got his individual and team soccer photos taken. Jack's team had a scrimmage scheduled at the Jamboree later in the day, but we took off to get organized for his birthday party.

California Historical Landmark #83
A couple of times a month, I spend the day in the bay area for meetings. One of those regular monthly meetings is held in the San Francisco business district. Two blocks from the site and right on my inbound drive is the following historical marker. It is almost half a mile up Market from the Ferry Building and the bay!
