Happy Birthday!

Juliette's birthday was Friday and she has had an amazing birthday weekend and has been thoroughly spoiled rotten! :) In a good way :). On Friday she got to stay up as late as she wanted to and made it to around 11. Saturday we went to Kings Dominion to swim at opening day of the water park. Sunday we made it to Washington to see the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, and even got to watch some of Rolling Thunder. We just missed hearing Donald Trump speak on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, but the kids were exhausted. We went with Juliette's friend Luke and his mom. It was hot, but not unbearable. Then Luke and his sister slept over last night and today we are just enjoying a quiet day at home. I can't wait until Friday though- it's her last present and she doesn't know about it. I'm going to wake her up normal time like we're going to school and then drive right past the turn and head to her friend's house. Then we're going to head to Great Wolf Lodge for the weekend! Pictures from birthday celebrations to come!

New Season at Kings Dominion

We've been back to Kings Dominion a few times so far and Juliette is getting very brave. She tried The Ricochet ridge- the first true adult roller coaster she's been on and she loved it! She loves having her friends to ride with her.

Juliette and Anna on The Great Pumpkin Coaster- she finally likes it!

 

Selfie with Sally!

 

Her first grown up roller coaster! Yet she hates the other kiddie coaster.

 

Juliette and Lilley! It's so cute how Juliette will take Lilley by the hand and basically drag her around the park and Lilley is just happy to be with the big kid! Last weekend when we went to see them I walked into the room and Lilley was on the couch. She looked up at me and said "Pookie- where's Juliette?"  Yep not even a hi for Aunt Pookie.

Thinking Day 2016

Last year the troop did France. This year the troop did Philippines. The turn out was a little low because there were so many other activities going on that weekend, but the girls who came had fun and our table was the winner for the best food.

 

Juliette and Sarah- besties!

Fun Run

Juliette did the Boosterthon Fun Run again this year as a Hillmann Lightning Bolt!

Clowns

This was back in March at the circus. Juliette loved the elephants- now they're gone from performances so I'm glad we got to see them.

 

 

Random Stuff but with explanations! :)

I'll be bouncing around for a while before I get all caught up, but I'll explain what was going on in our oh so interesting lives!


Father Daughter Girl Scout Dance!

 

 

Pizza bigger than her head! Downtown Fredericksburg has an amazing tiny pizza place called Benny Vitale's. You can get cheese, pepperoni, and whatever 1 other flavor they make that day. A tray is about the size of a dining room table. And no- she didn't finish the entire slice.

 

 

 

This was back in February at her first booth sale for cookies at our Wal Mart. These two Daisies sold about 200 boxes! It was a busy booth season for us considering last year we weren't able to do any. We did 8 hours one weekend!

 

 

 

 

 

Hollywood Studios

On Sunday she was still feeling not the best and we told her to let us know if she felt bad and we would go back to the hotel. As soon as we got on the bus she said her tummy hurt and she wanted to go back. We told her to try to walk around at the park and see how she felt. About a minute later she said she felt better. I said are you sure? She said yep she just had to toot. Oy my kid. She loved the new Star Wars area and meeting Kylo Ren and Chewbacca- pictures later.

 

 

Around 3 she was done and wanted to go back to the hotel. Josh wanted to watch the stunt car show since this was the last week for it, so I took her back on the bus and headed to the pool. Because it was Easter, there were special things happening including Minnie at our pool!

transferred to bed

We knew she felt awful when she didn't want to go back to the park to see her favorite night time show Fantasmic. Early night for us. This was also the first time we had ever put the TV on during our vacations. She thought that was awesome.
