HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATELYN!!!

Ok, so her birthday is not until October, but by then our local amusement park will be closed. Normally, we just have a family party, but we've told our children when they turn 10 they get to have a friend party. Both David (who had his party last year) and Katelyn chose to take friends to a local amusement park for their party.






Since it is extremely expensive to eat at the park, we stopped at McDonald's for their fine dining. Here are Katelyn, Hailey, Rebekah and Anna enjoying the feast.





Sisters Rebekah and Anna give Katelyn a Webkinz as a gift. A big hit!!






Hailey and Katelyn with my brave husband. I asked my husband to join us girls on our trip. I just felt safer having a big, strong man with us poor, helpless females.;) He willingly came although he was injured. He had a torn ACL in his knee, yet he bravely hobbled along with us.
Thanks, Hon!!





One of my husband's favorite rides. Since his knee is injured, this was one of the few rides he could ride with relative ease.






My favorite ride.




The last picture of the evening. I think games are a waste of money. You already pay to get into the park, and now they want to take more money. For some reason, kids want to play games. The girls are holding the fruit of their labor. Totally worth the zillion dollars it cost, right?


I honestly don't understand some adults sometimes. The girls wanted to do a competitive game against each other. You know, the one where you aim the water at the hole and the whatchamacallit goes up. Well, the girls were all set up when 2 women walk by us.. My age, maybe a touch younger, they stopped and "sized up" the competition. One of them decided to play. Now really, you need a stuffed animal THAT bad, you need to play against 8-10 year olds. You would never do this, would you?

Well, that's when my husband decided to play. Thankfully, he won. The woman came in second. Of course, Shannon let Katelyn choose the prize. The unknown woman was visibly angry and walked away. As I said, I just don't understand some people.


Over all, this was the worst thing that happened all evening so it was a great time. The girls were well behaved. My husband was well behaved - most of the time.:) We all had a good time.
