Morgan's 8th birthday celebrations!

For Morgan's 8th Birthday we decided to have a party at the Moses Lake water park. She got to invite 4 friends plus her sisters to go with us. Sadly, the day ended up being rainy. I checked the weather forecast and it said only about 10% chance of rain during the day and 78. So I figured we'd be ok. But as we neared the park (about an hour away) it started to rain and never quit for longer than a few minutes the whole time we were there. We made the most of it though . . . it was nice that there were probably only half the amount of people there from when we went last year. We all went on the lazy river and Morgan and her friends went down the slides over and over and there was almost no line other than maybe a few people. But after 2 1/2 hours Mia and Chelsea were done being cold and so we decided to pack everyone up and go back to my house to play. Right after we all changed back into out clothes lightening started to strike and the park closed anyways. Good thing we'd already changed and didn't have to fight for space in the crowded locker room.

Paige went home with her Grandma that was also at the park and the other girls came home with us and they played Barbie's for a few hours before I took them home.
On Sunday we had Morgan's birthday ice cream cake that I made. It was peanut butter/ chocolate ice cream. With our busy day on her actual birthday (Monday) I knew we'd have to have it early.
Afterwards, we went for a short walk and the kids showed us how tall the timothy hay in the field behind us was getting.

I brought Indoor Smores into Morgan's classs for her birthday treat.
This is her with Mrs. Longmire. She is an awesome 2nd grade teacher.
After school we took Morgan to Monkey Dooz to get her hair cut and to Claire's to get her ears pierced. Jane came along with us and Cameron and Collin showed up just in time for this. Morgan choose rhinestone flowers. She did really well especially since they didn't have 2 people working to pierce them both at the same time. She just "oh oh that really hurt" in her dramatic voice!

After this we went to Azteca for a quick dinner before going to see the Disney 3D move "Up" for family night.

Morgan gets baptized on June 27th.
