Happy Birthday Sweet 9 Year Old ~

For Jordyns birthday we went to Fort Fun!  She was allowed to invite two friends, and this is the results of that day...
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Paddle Boat racing with Daddy, Rehna and Andrea...Rehna looks like shes going to be seasick!  :)
Then on to the Bumper Boats, complete with squirt guns...
which Jordyn tried to spray me with....little Stinker!  :)
Grandpa Frank happily spends a quarter to become Master Blaster and soak the kids...
Jordyn is laughing at grandpa because she is out of range...Andrea is getting soaked, however!
Grandpa holds Jordyn at bay as she tries to give him super wet hugs!
Shes still trying to get him wet...hehehehhe...i love this photo!


Next the girls tried the B'loon Blast...it took a few tries, but then they got pretty good!

Rehna is getting doused with water here...get em back kiddo!
Christy was able to sneak away from work and join us for a while for birthday hugs  :)
Then it was time for the GoCarts!  This is one of the coolest women i know! Almost 93, and she still has so much zest for life! Here she is crossing another thing off her bucket list...the GoCarts! And Justin didnt go easy on her either! He said she was enjoying the ride, but also said, "this is kind of scary...we're going kind of fast". But as we passed them on the track i do believe i saw her smiling


We enjoyed pizza for lunch and then she opened presents from Grandma and Grandpa.

They dont allow outside food, so we settled for a birthday ice cream scoop!  Make a wish sweetheart!


After we refueled, we hit the bumper boats (no pun intended)  :)


 then the arcade...

 The carousel used to be Jordyns favorite ride here but she never even noticed it this time around(sigh), so naturally, i had to be sentimental and make the girls take a photo with it...they were good sports though and hammed it up! 
 We went upstairs and enjoyed several rounds of laser tag...and i have to admit, this was my favorite!  I could spend the entire afternoon in there!  We had the room to ourselves most of the time, and it wasnt that busy in the evening, so we could keep going in over and over again!  Justin got first place every time, but Rehna and Andrea became pretty good snipers and got us quite a bit in the last round!  Jordyn shot me every chance she got...not sure how i should take that :)
 I posted both of these photos...one with the flash, and one without...but i LOVE the one without the flash!
 This photo cracks me up...modern day Charlie's Angels!  Andrea looks like she just spotted a giant rat on the ceiling!
On our way home we saw a mountain lion by the mailboxes at Rustic Road (only 1/2 a mile down from us)  The girls were totally psyched to see him...and he was huge!  How fun that we should see a bobcat yesterday and a mountain lion today!  very cool indeed! 
 When we got home we enjoyed her "official" cake!  The number 9 we used is from GG's cake last August when she turned 92...i thought it would be fun to use again!
 Jordyn opened presents from the girls and us and our new kitten helped!  She got lots of cool goodies, including art supplies a cat warrior book and lots of clothes!

 It was a great day to turn 9...hope you enjoyed it Jordyn!
We love you to the moon and back!!!!
In the morning the girls asked if they could have some cake for breakfast...i said, "sure...help yourself!" and this is what i found in the kitchen....Now they are burning their sugar high off on the rope swing!
Mom is great....gave us a chocolate cake!
Now its time to prepare for Rogue Camp...guests should be arriving any minute!  Stay tuned for more fun!
