The Birthday Party

Everyone had fun at Samantha's Beach Party for her 5th birthday. We decorated buckets & shovels to take home, played lots of games like Wipe out, Musical beach towels, Pin-the-tail on the Mermaid, and played in the sprinkler. We'll get some better photos up soon, but here's a very excited Samantha, and the girls with our little friend Maia.

Kings Dominion

We had a BLAST last week at Kings Dominion (an amusement park about an hour away). We met up with Grampy, Aunt Shelly, Aunt Christy & Uncle Jeremy & their kids (Lydia, Clara and Natalie). We all had fun riding roller coasters, playing games, and eating popcorn and cotton candy. What more could you ask for?!

The cutest was watching Danielle and her cousin Natalie ride these little cars by themselves. Too funny!

Fourth of July

We spent the Fourth of July at George Washington's home - Mount Vernon, Virginia. It's a great place. Then we came home and had a barbeque with neighbors. We felt very American.

Here's a picture of Rebekah and Samantha at Mount Vernon - Rebekah is George Washington, and Samantha is Martha. Rebekah has a grumpy face because she didn't want to be a boy - gross!
