HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRAMMY!!!!! smilebox wouldn't load-- but here are some happy birthday pictures we LOVE you!

Friend Birthday!

 the Jenkins, Horselys and Princes came to celebrate Jason's BIG DAY.

 We canoed

 the boys tipped-- ha!!

 talked and made hobo dinners, s'mores AND blueberry sorbet- yes please!

 played princess.

 the girls stayed dry.

 and received a very warm welcome back.

Our landlord's friend was kind enough to take us on his pontoon boat-- ah!! it was like a mini vacay and SUCH a fun day!

The Brave Duck

One brave duck came all the way up to the porch-- she was greatly rewarded with cheerios.

Girls Night OUT!

 In Dominica we dreamed of nights like this!

 It was as magical as we hopped and planned for those many months ago~

Sarah (who drove up) Liz (who shared her home) Chels (who had the best salad recommendation) and myself-- our hair is straighter than when we were in Dominica-- but other than that-- it was like we said goodbye yesterday-- I love that.

Life on a lake~

Jason's family B-day party

 and Celebrate we did!

 Emmy got Jason the necklaces that they are wearing-- the SEQUEL to Secret of Nimm AND a spool of red thread!

 The girls were dressed up so cute for J's birthday-- then they found a dirt pile-- so don't look at this pic too closely!

for the birthday meal Jason I made Melting Pot fondue-- it was HEAVEN!!!
