So she decided to get herself a snack...she's three now you know --so she can do that ;)



That is a Lake of ranch she's got there!!!  WOWIE!

She was so proud of herself....I'm so proud she loves carrots so much.

One tuckered out party girl!!


Happy Birthday dear Clara!  You are as sweet as the smile on your face,
you bring many giggles to our family and keep us on our toes.  You are a little
"go getter" and love to be with your brothers and sister.  You are full of sunshine, you love Smokey the dog,
you also love your babies and tea parties too! You give the best hugs.  We are sad our baby is growing but
we are happy and excited to see the little girl you are becoming.
Happy Birthday to our little "twinkle star"!
~Love, Dad & Mom

The Administration Building Lawn was divided into 3 sections:
3 & under/4-7/ 8-11

The Golden I was hopping around handing out treats ;)

Tom went with Clara(his one and only pictures is on his phone) I went with Derrick and Kassidy and
Kolby we went over rules and whatnot with him and told him where to meet us once he was done



Our Little Vandal Egg Hunters!! It was beautiful and sunny...but COLD-the wind chilled us to the bone!!

None of them found the "GOLD or SILVER" Eggs...but they had fun ;)  It's amazing how fast eggs get picked up....if only their rooms could get picked up that fast !!!

Had to have a campfire....the forecast for the rest of the week did not look like campfire weather!

Last performer

They had fun....they'd let me know the times of the shows and then they'd run back and say actually we are "running late" so then I'd come to the following showtime ;)  They had music that they'd change out and everything ;)  The snacks was the best part - we'd get our snacks and we were told not to eat all of it cause then as soon as the show was over it was picked up until we came to the next performance!
