Emilie and her favorite friends- Hallie, Jasmine, Maddie, Samantha, Chloe (and Josie and Noah of course), enjoyed splishing and splashing in Mama Holly's pool!
We had a watermelon eating contest. Chloe (the tiniest of the bunch) was the winner! The kids were in shock when they discovered the watermelon had seeds!
We decorated flip flops. We played "Pin the Goggles on Emilie."Why buy a "Pin the Tale on the Donkey" game, when you can create your own game.In the past we have played "Pin the Crown on the Princess," and "Pin the Chef's Hat on the Cook." I think a "Pin the Patch on the Pirate" is in our future??
Emilie's desert choice "Ice Cream Wednesdays," since it is Wednesday and not Sunday, YUMMY!I loved watching my girl enjoy her friends. They are each such beautiful, kind, sweet girls. Each one a blessing to Emilie.

Everybody has to change or they expire. Everybody has to leave, leave their home and come back so they can love it again for all new reasons. I want to keep my soul fertile for the changes, so things keep getting born in me, so things keep dying when it is time for things to die. I want to keep walking away from the person I was a moment ago. Only a good story has a character different at the end than it was in the beginning. Through Painted Deserts Donald Miller "Our whole life was only given to us to advance us by great strides toward our heavenly country." Lancelot Andrews In my life, God is always changing the way I think of Him. I am not saying GodHimself is changing, or thatmy theology is open and I blur the lines on truth;I am only saying I think I know who He is, then I figure outI don't know very much at all.

A proud man is always looking down on things and people: and of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you. Mere Christianity C.S. Lewis
