Aunt Mari's new water slide

We hooked the slide up to the water heater so it was nice warm water and everyone had a blast!

Carter doesn't like the water spraying in his face so he spent most of his time on the side.


Long Beach Aquarium

While in California we went to the Aquarium. It is such a great place where you can see lots of cool fish (the jelly fish are my favorite).

Sara surfing, Carter the seal

Hanna surfing, Allie the seal

All the kids by the shark tank

Hanna feeding the birds. They sell little cups of nectar. Hanna is the only one I got a picture of with the bird eating from her, but all the kids walked around for half an hour trying to feed the birds. (It was a busy day at the aquarium and I don't think the birds were very hungery by the time we got there). Grandma Carter is a bird whisperer and the birds flocked to her.

Petting the sting rays!

California Beach House

We spent a week at a beach house. It was right on the beach and we had so much fun building sand castles, burying each other, and playing in the ocean. It was a great vacation!




Allie's Birthday - May 30th

Allie had her birthday while we were in California at the beach house so we had a party there. This is the cake image that she picked out in Cedar and we carefully packed to California, but then it wouldn't come off of the paper to go onto the cake and I put it in the microwave to try to help it along and burned Giselle's face. OOPS!

A new princess/fairy dress to go with the other 20 we have at home. She is in heaven!

New sparkle princess shoes (are you sensing a theme here?)

Happy with her make-shift cake!

Sara's Birthday May 16th

Sara had a water balloon party and it worked out that the day of her party was about the only day in May with good enough weather for an outside water party.
She invited a bunch of friends from her class at school (most of them boys) so I was too busy to take very many pictures.

Carter's Birthday May 5th

Making the cake!

"Lightning McQueen" ... of course

Lots of new trucks, tractors, motorcycles, and cars

Happy with a sucker
