Happy Birthday, Westen!!

Both of our big girls have been enjoying some quality Westen time.  He has introduced Lucia to a new pastime: video games!  ( :-/ )  We've been limiting their time with it, but they've been having fun taking turns.  (I must admit, this does remind me of my summers with boy cousins growing up. :) Back then, it was Mario Brothers.)

 And Rhea got Westen to read her a story! 

 To celebrate his 8th birthday, we all went to Monkey Joe's together.  Alexa was having fun bouncing in Grandma's arms... no big blow-up device required. :)

 Rhea went all out trying to keep up with the big kids!

 And it was really fun to watch Lucia stick close by Hayley's side... they've been having quite a bit of fun together this trip.  Lucia's getting a bit older, which has brought the "girl" out a bit more.  She loves watching Hayley doing her girl activities. :)

 And Rhea was not far behind!

 Jaida is our little ham!!  She loved it!!  No slide was too big for her!

 An attempt at a cousin shot... quite a few wigglers in this group.  This was the best I got. :)

 Our morning fun was followed up by cupcakes and watermelon outside by the pool (and a little swim).

 Even Alexa got a little taste!

Happy Birthday, Westen!!  We love you!
