REAL Birthday DAY!

Evie's actual birthday we were in Des Moines still and we had quite a fun day. We first went to a park to play and we thought there were some "fountains" to play in--but quickly found out from others around that those hadn't worked for years. So nearby there was a small beach on a lake that we had fun playing in.

Grandma and Evie

So much fun!
Swinging--Evie's favorite!
Grandpa and Evie at "the beach"---well it was more like mud than sand, but the girls didn't notice!
Penelope and Evie playing in the water
Digging for treasures


Searching for flowers to make a wish on

Now for Party #2! My cousins lived nearby so they came over for dinner and Evie got to meet her second cousins for the first time--so fun!
Great Grandpa Culpepper and the birthday girl
Evie especially liked the new friends as they brought some of their toys to share!
Grandpa and Evie and Evan--only a month apart! Evie loved to play with him, I kept telling her he was family so not to get any ideas!
Cute Cousins!
Blowing out the candle!
Yum!

Thanks grandpa for letting us visit you! Hope to see you again soon!
