Evie's Birthday week ends with a splash!


Our little munchkin is seven!  Mommy took off a day to spend with her lovely girls.  We headed over to another great couple of hours at the Watermine where the girls went down numerous water slides, over and over. We all got thoroughly soaked but luckily the sun kept us nice and toasty.  Then, mommy and Evie had a little 1-on-1 time stopping by our favorite haunts in Old Town - froyo and painting pottery - followed by a trip to the chocolatier, before heading home to celebrate with Evie's requested meal - spaghetti and garlic bread, of course! 


Evie (and Ellie) are excited to rip into the gifts after dinner!  Ba and Opa were our honored guests. 


She was thrilled to get this 80's book by Aliki, one of her favorites from Mrs. Bates first grade library. 


The girls proudly display Ba's latest creations - new art to display in their rooms! 


Evie picked out her ice cream cake at Baskin Robbins - amazingly enough, she found one with mint chocolate chip and chocolate ice cream - without any cake! 


The next day we checked out the mini golf course at Upton Hill Regional Park to partake in one of Evie's favorite activities.  Upton has one of the longest putts down a big hill which was a lot of fun!  Ellie was a good sport about sitting out the game with her book - golf is not her game, it would seem. 


Ellie is very comfortable lying down wherever she finds a shady spot. 


It was getting a little steamy, but Evie followed this picture with THREE hole-in-ones! 


Finally, after some ice cream it was off to the spray park to cool down, easy to do despite standing on "Mercury".  I guess you could say Evie's 7th birthday was out of this world!
