Here was what McKenzie woke up to on her birthday morning. I loved these beautiful flowers I found this year - so cheerful and bright. This is one of my favorite traditions for their birthdays - watching them remember it's their birthday when they come downstairs in the morning.
Fun at the park with the cousins - how could McKenzie not enjoy her special day when there was monkey bars to swing on?
Cousin Kayla and McKenzie opening gifts at the park - we celebrated Kayla's birthday too since she is also a June baby.
Two interesting things happened while we were eating lunch, first this airplane went past us on a train - pretty amazing to see this up close. It was huge and it just glided slowly past the park like it was no big deal. The second is a funny story about Ben. He was eating Cheetos and I had a cherry and set my pit on his plate. He was just eating away when suddenly he screamed 'I lost a tooth!' and we all looked over at him since none of his teeth were loose. Then he showed me his hand, which contained the cherry pit. I told him 'Oh, that's not a tooth' and the look of horror on his face was priceless as he said 'What is that???' We all had a good laugh over that.
The whole bunch of us - putting up with my desire to take group pictures using the timer setting on my phone. This time we lucked out and got some good pictures. My Grandma C would love to see us all there together.
Tiny hands holding a tiny crab, luckily no one got pinched!
After lunch we explored the park and did some Geocaching, on the way we stopped to take this picture with Grandma and Grandpa C by the lighthouse. This will probably be Nathan's all time favorite family picture.
All in all it was a great day and a wonderful way to celebrate McKenzie turning six!
