Oh to be nine again! Peter and I got to pretend last weekend when we had his niece, Halee, come over for the weekend; not just any weekend either, her ninth birthday weekend! So what were we to do but stack it full of fun activities! It's for the birthday girl right?!?
Friday night she and her Uncle walked to the
candy store. Two kids in a candy shop. One has
money and neither has
restraint! :) We tried to go to movies in the park, but when they had technical difficulties we scrapped it and got
FroYo instead. Thanks Uncle Petey!
Saturday morning was birthday breakfast! By request: chocolate chip
pancakes, hard boiled
eggs, and
bacon. Fruit? There's fruit in the house?! Dont be ridiculous.
Saturday afternoon we went to a grad party where we met up with our friends and their nine year old daughter
Kylie. They hit it off, and Kylie spent the rest of the day with us! A trip to the
Meijer Gardens was in order, and lots of fun! Aww Fred and Lena :)
After a quick nap at home for the ol' aunt and uncle, we were off and running again to the
Whitecaps! It was not quite like the baseball games that Halee is used to with her brothers. Calling them the
JV Tigers helped her get the idea.
Treats were aplenty, thanks again Uncle Petey!
Sunday was church with her new friend Kylie, and then a
wedding shower in Portage for her return. I think we wore her out, she
napped all the way to kzoo. :)
Quotes of the weekend:
'Uhhh Aunt Betsy, I'm not really comfortable with Fran, can you please come get her?!'
and
'You cant ever know what boys are thinking.'
Happy ninth birthday Halee! We had a blast, come back soon!
