The rest of the summer......

Apparently I fell of the blogging bandwagon and disappeared for awhile (a little over 2 months to be exact).  So, what have we been up to since July 4th? Well, let's see........

We celebrated both girls' birthdays in July.  Kayla turned 10 and Kenna turned 7!

Here are pictures from the family birthday party celebrating both of them:

Trying out their new snorkeling gear

Kayla had her first slumber party to celebrate being a DECADE old!  Her friends came over and swam, had a pizza dinner, played games, watched a movie, laughed, screamed, and giggled until wee hours of the night.  They slept for a few hours and then woke up again for more fun and treats.

10 year old girls are silly!

The end result of the game "Spin the Nail Polish"!  A HUGE hit with the girls :)

Some of the treats.  Kayla picked zebra and hot pink for her party theme this year.

Just one of the many choices for breakfast :)

Next, we had Kenna's friend party to celebrate turning SEVEN!  Kenna had her party at Build-a-Bear this year.  Each girl got to make a bear and pick an outfit.  Then we headed over to Dairy Queen in the mall for lunch and cake.

On Kenna's actual birthday, we sent Kayla off for a week of summer camp at Hume Lake Wagon Train.  She had such an amazing time!  She came home dirty (only showered twice :)) and tired, but full of wonderful memories.  She can't wait to go again next year!

Since it was Kenna's real birthday, we went up to the Neese's cabin after dropping Kayla off, and had dinner and dessert with everyone.
