Our second half of Mckenna's birthday celebration was a trip to NJ to visit friends. We spent Friday afternoon in downtown Baltimore at the children's museum.
We spent the remainder of our drive to NJ laughing at Morgan and all the ways we could make her look silly. She is very entertaining to her three sisters at this age!
Friday afternoon we arrived in NJ greeted by a downpour. Late in the evening it cleared up and our friends kindly built a wet fire so that Mckenna could roast smores which was one of her requests.
Mckenna and Baileigh with the King girls...Emma and Lila.
A very happy girl with a mouthful of smores!
Saturday was supposed to be a beach day but Hurricane Bill had other plans. We had to make a decision and the vote was to spend the afternoon at a place with roller skating, indoor bouncy things and a huge indoor playground. Of course, it cleared up at the beach for a few hours but oh well! Mckenna seemed just as happy as happy as she was with the beach idea.
Brook was initially excited to skate and then changed her mind. It was a long, painful lap around the rink...I love this picture, look at Brad's expression and Brooke's face.
We cooled off at Sonic's Happy Hour after the skating fun. Sonic is new to NJ and all the rage...it cracks Brad up since Sonic is old news in TX and you can find one on every corner.
While the rain took a break we enjoyed an hour in our friend's pool...they were at the shore but told us to enjoy their pool. Thanks Russells! Our time was cut short as we began to hear a bunch of thunder, but the girl's still had fun.
The birthday hat even made it to NJ!
Mckenna saw the "Cupcake Cake" on a TV infomercial and requested it for her birthday. She also asked to have it decorated with gumballs that she could have afterwards. She was pretty excited when she saw the cake, complete with Melissa's decorative handy work.
After cake the kids all got in the hot tube...until lightening and thunder ended our fun again. Essentially whenever we decided to do something outside it would begin
Sunday morning we attended our old church and enjoyed lunch afterwards with several of the families from our former mini church. Eleven adults and thirteen kids...fun lunch! And of course, Mckenna my clown had to entertain them all by putting pizza dough on her face! Lovely. I guess turning 6 doesn't mean she is any less silly.
We had a wonderful weekend. There were tears on the way home...we're just thankful for great friends and that we're close enough to visit.
