Your Great-grandmother's 90th birthday


Dear Abigail,
Today we went to your great-grandmother's 90th birthday party. That's Daddy's daddy's mommy! The party was at Aunt Linda and Uncle Gary's house and guess what, they had a big ole waterslide to play on!! No, your great-grandmother did not go down the slide, and I'm not even sure she went out in the heat because it was soooo hot, but you kiddos sure loved it! Of course, Mommy wouldn't let you go down the slide because there were a WHOLE lot of big kiddos playing on it, but you had fun watching and being splashed!
You tried your little heart out to get in there...

and then a big wave of water would splash you!!!
There was a baby pool that you splashed around in, or, well, that you drank the water from, even though Aunt Linda begged and begged you to not drink it. She just doesn't know you and your water drinking habits, does she!
There also was a little bouncy house that you jumped in a little bit...

You had a ton of fun with all your cousins and second cousins and probably third cousins! Such a good time. You also found a sandbox where you spent a lot of your time - I'm thinking you may just need one, or maybe just a trip to the beach... At dinner time, you and Ellie were the best little eaters. At first you sat at the big table and everyone was so impressed with you and how well you ate. Then you started carrying your plate down to Ellie's table, where you preceded to eat everything off Ellie's plate, including a bite or two of cake! I'm thinking you may have grown a few sweet taste buds - uh oh!!!


After dinner, while I was trying to get things gathered to head home, you snuck off to the treehouse, where you decided to camp out for 30 minutes!! Mommy had to beg Caroline to drag you to the ladder, so I didn't have to get up there! Finally we headed home (unfortunately through a really terrible thunderstorm) and you are safely in bed, well, on the floor, but in your room nonetheless. PS - you only cried for less than 1 minute tonight!!!!
LOVE YOU sleepy head!
