Brownie Sundae

This is SO late!  HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY SEVENTH BIRTHDAY CAITLIN!  It's not to late, because her family party is this coming Sunday.  I got to wake up and tell her Happy Birthday on her actual day and spend some fun time together, and that's what counts most!


We get creative with bday candles at Auntie's!

The Goovers came over on Wednesday night (Aug 1st) and we had birthday brownie sundaes and watched the movie "Hocus Pocus".  The birthday child always gets to pick, and that's what she wanted.  I'm fairly certain we did the same thing for Hannah's birthday, except she picked Pizza Hut for dinner and Tater chose DQ for lunch. We have a fine performance on facebook of all of us singing "Call Me Maybe", staring Tater!

Cute that we have almost the same pose!  Except she is a tan baby and Auntie's legs will not tan.  Period.  Ever. :(

 

The next morning headed off to Turtle Park, but by eleven the day was already warm and very muggy.  Ash and Tater hung out on the swings for awhile, Hannah hid in the tornado slide where it was cooler, and I dragged a bench into the shade of a tree.  Lynn brought her two kids and we decided that Billings Park might be a little more shady and fun for the kids, so off we went.

The kids had a blast at the Billings Park playground, we will definitely be back!  They played for a bit while Lynn and I visited, and then they wanted to head down the steps to the bay so away we went.  Lynn's little girl tripped on a step and scraped her knee pretty good so they headed back to Grandma's, and the Goovers and I continued on for a little adventure.  It was so much cooler down there we just spent some time sitting and skipping rocks.  That's where the last pics were taken.  Spending time together is so different  now that they are older!

When we finished up Caitlin chose to have her birthday lunch at DQ.  On the way there we had to stop on Billings Drive and film us all singing "Call Me Maybe" when it came on the radio.  I put the car in park, Ashlyn watched for cars coming from behind, and we videoed an encore performance.  "Ashlyn do NOT do that while driving.  Oh, what am I worried about.  I'm sure you've seen your Mother do much worse." :)

Happy birthday Tater Tot!  Thanks for spending some of it with Auntie!!  xxoo  I love you to the moon and back and half way round the block. ♥
