Our youngest daughter just celebrated her 8th birthday last Monday. It's so hard to believe our baby is 8!
In lieu of a party she decided she'd like to have a fun family night of go-karting. We planned to do that for a week or two and, finally, the big night arrived. The Saturday before her birthday we had a busy day and planned to celebrate with her that night; so we went be-bopping up to our local go-kart/mini-golf location to find that, according to the size of the weeds, we were a couple months too late. Ooops! We didn't have a plan B that night, so we had to go home to think of one.
We came up with two options, a local roller skating rink that also has inflatables or a hands on science museum in another town. She told us that she was "stressed out" trying to make a decision (she'd decide one way and then change her mind to the other), but finally she decided on the roller skating rink because she wanted to play on the inflatables. So, plan B, after church on Sunday we waited for the rink to open and went over for the skating and, mainly, the inflatables. We arrive to find that she's grown to tall to play on the inflatables! :0 Strike two.
I believe the lesson she/we were learning is flexibility!!! :)
Meanwhile, she had a great birthday last Monday. She and her sisters made and decorated her cake (their own design, including the diving board) . She enjoyed having two friends (and siblings) over to swim that afternoon.
Finally we went to the science museum yesterday to celebrate as a family. We had a great time. (It hadn't closed down and she wasn't too tall!) It was a great family day! :)
Daddy & K waiting patiently while sisters play. :)
Some brave souls tried this bicycle type activity. Check out how high it is! :)
The other brave soul.
The birthday girl decided that was just a bit too high for her. This was a far as she got! :)
Hope you're all having a great holiday weekend.
