A Princess Party & A Baby Shower!

to start, on thursday morning, mrs. kelley (jordan's and the twins preschool teacher) came by with 5 free passes to aquaboggan (a water park). we decided since it was doug's day off that we would go. it wasn't very warm, but it wasn't raining either. we drove an hour to get up there and it was closed!!! we met someone in the parking lot who said they closed because it was too cloudy! oh well, so, we went back home. the kids were quit dissapointed as we were not sure we would be able to fit it in to go again (passes had to be used by labor day and school was starting on the 28th). we definitely want to say thank you to mrs. kelley. she also gave us tokens for the bumper boats and go carts as well.

on saturday, i took toya to the princess party at doodlebugs. she felt a little weird as it was mostly young girls. it was cute and she got to paint a princess piggy bank and make a craft. we stayed for a little bit of story time, but it really was geared more towards the younger children. it was supposed to last from 10-noon, but we ended up leaving at 11 and going out to lunch. she still had fun though. here are some pictures:






after we ate, we then went to aunt sherry and tom's house (doug's sister and brother in law) for a welcome shower for baby rilee. it was basically a family get together with a baby shower type thing thrown in for rilee (she is 4 mo. old). it was VERY hot that day and the humidity was aweful! thankfully they had a pool and the kids went in and some of the adults. it turned out really well, and everyone seemd to enjoy themselves. rilee (the only baby in pics) got lots of clothes, so she should be all set for a while! :) here is a slideshow of the get together/welcome shower:

just a little funny story, as we pulled into our driveway on sunday night, kelsey looked in the driveway and said "where's daddy's vehicle?" it was soo funny, where did she get vehicle from? we always say cars, trucks, etc., not look at so and so's vehicle. their vocabulary is obviously growing by leaps and bounds!
