P*A*R*T*Y in Greenbank

If it isn't raining this is one of the best places on earth for the kiddos, they all can run around and we as parents don't have to worry. There is plenty of space to have fun and run around. Only one worry is the scooter. Never sure how fast the person riding will be coming around the corners!

This is one of the best photos from the evening. Emma FINALLY likes most of us, it only took 20 months. I wish I had a video of her, Riley and Kelly when they played together it was really sweet.

Have a great Tuesday!

Wild Waves for 13th Birthday---

It is funny what children remember and hold you to. When Emily was about 8 she was allowed to invite a friend down to the lake (before Kirk's mom and step dad got divorce) and that friend got to stay with us there for the weekend. Some how Kirk's mom got inexpensive tickets to Wild Waves and the Huffers and Emily Noelle went. The girls had a great time but Emily wanted to know when would she be old enough to hang out with her friends with out her parents trailing along. I must have said 13, because she held me to it.

Last week we packed up the van with 5 girls and headed south to Wild Waves. They ditched us as soon as we got there 11 and didn't check in until 1 pm when it was time for lunch. After lunch they went off again and check in 2.5 hours later, true freedom! They were the last group on the water slides at closing time! In fact the workers were loading up their towels to place in the lost and found since they were riding until the last minute! It was a long and fun day, one that all the girls will remember for a long time.

Ice Skating with friends

For some reason I do not have a photo of Kelly, she did end up skating more than a mile before she got a huge blister, next year she will listen to her mom and wear long socks!
