Travis is an expert at celebrating birthdays. Expecially his own. He gets his day off and makes very specific requests of what he wants to do. It is great! I don't have to wonder. And since he is very easy going and non-demanding for the other 364 days of the year, he deserves to be specific!
He wanted to go play mini-golf. I am not sure it turned out like he planned, what with 4 kids tagging along. I think everyone had fun. Felix loved it, and actually got a hole in one by himself!
What a handsome gentleman!
He also requested "chocolate bricks", which are the thickest, densest brownies you can imagine dipped (drowned) in chocolate ganache. Our meal of vegan lasagna, salad and veggies made a perfect contrast to the brownies.
A day of shopping and lunch with me, babysitting provided by our dear eldest daughter was the perfect end. The kids and I had decorated everything with Jamaican flag colors (because Travis thinks he is Rastafarian). Did I really not get a picture?
Travis has an amazing view of life. He doesn't worry about things he can't control. He has unlimited patience and a listening ear. He is vibrant and excited. He is thoughtful and introspective. He has many amazing talents that come very naturally to him, that I like to call "gifts". He really was born with an athletic ability that I can't even begin to fathom. His ability to empathize is truly unique. Travis is hilarious, fun, goofy, and can easily loose dignity to entertain those lucky enough to be around when this happens.
Amazing man, amazing friend.
