Birthday, Camping, and the 4th!

Kate is now 3!

... and once again we were camping.
We went hiking and she went down inside a cave.
She got to spend the whole day with her best friend.
She went to the beach.
(and practiced for World Cup- Go Deutschland!)
She opened presents.
She ate butterfly cupcakes.She went to bed.

Lots of silly kids
We are so grateful for fun friends who we went camping with. We went to Allegany State Park and it was so nice to get away from everything and just be with our family. We were talking one time about how beautiful everything was around us and how lucky that we were able to grow up so close to the mountains and canyons and it was all really so wonderful!So that's where the blue eyes come from...
Last night we went to a friend's house for dinner with even more friends then we came home and watched the Washington DC firework celebration on TV. Then I got the kids in PJ's in bed and next we hear this "BOOM!" I opened Jane's blinds and we watched a 20 minute show right outside out window. Awesome!!!
This morning we went to our ward's Flag Ceremony and pancake breakfast. Jane got to read a poem.
Tonight will bring more friends, yummy dinner, and a entire nights sleep :) (I can hope)
Good Luck tomorrow to my super sister Joanna and baby # 3!
