Happy Birthday!!!

Holly turned seven years old this week... seven!!! My how the time has flown! She had a wonderful birthday celebration this past weekend at a local park. Holly wanted a Nature Party - so nature we did... park, forest play, stream play, sunshine -- really you couldn't beat how the day went the kids all had a great time! They played for several hours!

Remlinger Farms Summer Fair

Thursday we met up with some friends at Remlinger Farms... such a special treat! We try to go once a year, typically in the fall season. This was our first time during the summer season and I must say that I think I liked it better as there were more rides, animals and ponies to enjoy. And -- less crowds!!! The sunshine was warm but it wasn't too bad as they had sprinklers throughout the park for folks to enjoy, our kiddos got soaked a few times (me too). We had a fantastic day as we opened and closed the park down making for some tired kiddos and a tired momma!

Holly's Birthday Party @ Owen Beach

Last weekend we enjoyed a fantastic celebration at Owen Beach for Holly's 6th Birthday. The weather cooperated beautifully and the kids all adored spending several hours on the beach. They spent so much time exploring, collecting, playing in the drift wood hut, building water collecting holes and so much more! All the kids also created a beach relief project right in the sand with sea shells, little bits of drift wood and special beach stones they collected - this was really fun, some kids even made two.

Here is her party in reverse... as I am pretty frustrated with blogger right now - moving photos around is a night mare any more. Might have to look for a different host site, ugh!
