It's Megan's Birthday!

So, little Miss Megan decided to turn 8 today. The older she gets, the more excited I am to see what she will be like as she gets older! If this is any indication, we are in for a treat. Since her birthday is today, a weekday, we let her have a weekend of it. It started Saturday morning and ended Sunday night. She told me that "this was the BEST birthday EVER!" Great, what am I gonna do next year now? Anyway, on Saturday we took the rope gear out to the cliff and did a little rappelling, and on Sunday we went out in the boat for some inner tubing and then finished off with sloppy joes, birthday cake and presents.

orange almond cake with chocolate frosting. yummmm.........


her very own pink skate board. watch out, boys!......
