After two weeks of tonsil recovery, Scout is finally feeling better.  And just in time for his 9th birthday!  We were trying to do something low-key, but something he loved.  And I came up with the perfect plan.  If there is one thing I know that Scout loves, I know he loves to find quarters, and ultimately collect them.  So I told him that we were going to drive to every single vending machine, candy machine, phone booth, arcade game, and soda machine we could think of.  And he could search to his little hearts desire.  He was also going to be the lucky recipient of three helpers, and their loot.

In true Scout fashion, he was all over this amazing birthday activity.

His biggest score was at the mall of course.  The ride-on toys there are always a lucky spot for him.  I think he scored 6 quarters from there alone!

In the end, he found almost $6!
Not bad.

Then we went home for some presents.

And just in time for a huge neighborhood Nerf war, Scout got his very own gun.
Happy Birthday my sweet boy who endured two weeks of horror to finally get to his birthday!
