Teenager!

Kai turned 13 last week.


I was away on a business trip on his birthday, but we celebrated the day before with cake, and he got to open the many presents he got from his relatives.

This weekend, Kai had a three-day weekend with the President's Day holiday. I took Monday off from work and we had a little staycation in Schaumburg, similar to last year.

The weather was unusually warm and springlike. I didn't hear the weather news but am thinking that it had to be a record high with temps right around 70 degrees all weekend. It was perfect for walking around outside to look for Pokémon. Pokémon Go just released their generation two Pokémon so we saw a lot of people all over Schaumburg playing the game. It was just like when it was first released last summer. Of all the things we did this weekend, I think Kai enjoyed playing Pokémon Go the most. We could have saved a lot of money and just done that in our own neighborhood at home. Ha!


On Saturday night, we went back to Medieval Times. We had good seats right in the first row.


We were in the Blue section and cheered for the Blue knight. Alas, he was not victorious, but Kai enjoyed it all.


We ordered the Celebration package which included birthday cake and an announcement of his birthday by the king.


On Saturday, we went to see the Lego Batman movie and went to play video games at Dave and Busters. We also searched for more Pokémon before having dinner at a Brazilian steakhouse.

On Monday, we went to the local Legoland.


Kai enjoyed taking photos of many of the Lego exhibits. Here he is in front of the downtown Chicago exhibit.


And here he is in the Lego hippo.


And maybe his favorite part was getting to pick out a Lego Batman set at the store.


It was a fun weekend. Now we have to let it sink in that he is a teenager. Oh my!
