Adina is 8!!

Well we had a very busy birthday weekend (October 24th! Better late than never, right??) and Adina is now 8! I cannot believe it. We had friends come in from Princeton to celebrate. We had a busy weekend with swimming at the hotel, Madison's soccer tournament and Adina's High School Musical 3 birthday party at the movie theater! We had her party at the local movie theater and got to see the movie! Oooh aaah! The girls in the theater all sighed unanimously when Troy entered the screen! I think that was more entertaining then the movie itself!!




Adina, Gen and Madison playing on the frog slide


Adina under the Waterfall!

Madison enjoying the kiddie pool



Genevieve thinks there's nothing better than stairs -- no matter where they are!!



Adina and Gen jumping while holding hands



Daniel's seeing if he really can get his hand through, I guess...



Donovan having a serious conversation with Michael and Daniel in the hot tub of course!



Adina's oreo pies on her actual birthday night



This was hilarious! You can't tell because the flash on the camera made it seem light, but it was pitch black in the room after Adina blew out the candles! The kids all squealed and you can tell they were quite surprised!!

Movie Theater Birthday Party


Madison, Gen, Adina, Michael, and Daniel (our other 2 friends hadn't made it yet)

Madison's Soccer Tournament



Uncle Tony trying to keep warm with the rest of us! He was sure wishing he bought a new hat the night before at Bass Pro!



Adina and her monkey bars! She has made it her second grade mission to cross all the monkey bars and she is one determined little girl!! You should see her poor hands!



Here she is evaluating whether her blisters hurt to much to continue...She did until one tore off and that was the end of it for the day.



This picture cracks me up -- long lost relative of Elvis Presley!



Michael William Kramer! One of our very favority 7 year old boys

No, we can just say...Karin arrived late and was in a horrible emotional state.

Thanks for including us in the fun. Gen is still talking about it.

Hope to see you all soon.
