Flip Flops and Sunshine

For Presley's 6th birthday party this year, we had it at Riverbend Centre again.  She originally wanted to go down to Corpus and have a birthday vacation at the beach instead of a party.  But, at the last minute, decided she wanted to celebrate with all her friends.  So we threw together a super fun summer themed birthday party and she had a blast with 27 of her closest friends!



Of course, I didn't take as many pictures as I should have, but here are a few cute shots of the birthday girl on her fun day!

Summer Fun!




 We had such a fun summer!
I had to lead with this picture.
Pres got so used to Becks and I doing the shopping while she was at school, that she forgot what it was like to go to HEB.  She hated it!!!
 She finally realized that napping was the best way to get through it.  Now, whenever Presley goes grocery shopping with me, the first thing she asks is "Do we need to buy anything soft that I can use as a pillow?".

 But, other than napping at the grocery store, we did manage to work in a few other fun things!


Like bar-be-cuing while playing catch. 

 
 
 Maybe a selfie...or two
 
 

 

 And lots of grilled corn!

 

 We spent countless hours jumping on the trampoline.

 


 


 


 
  
And took walks down to the creek!
 
  
We even stopped along the way and picked up a friend to help us navigate the rocks across the creek.
 
 
 

 

 We saw some harmless snakes along the way.


 And some "not so harmless" snakes too!


Becks went to preschool camp!
 
 




 

 

 ...and loved preschool!!!!


We indulged in a little girl time.




And took many, many, many swim lessons!
 

 We ventured out after dinner several times for some ice cream


 


 We went to the ranch and fed cows...
 

 ...and rode a tractor!

 

 (or maybe we let the youngest one drive it???)


 We had a blast at our neighborhood 4th of July parade!

 

 

  We had a ridiculous amount of sleepovers.
 FYI...we call them sleepovers, but basically P&B just slept in the same bed all summer. They loved it because it meant giggling and playing for an extra hour each night.

 

  And, before the summer was over, Pres got a big girl hair cut!!!

 





 Summer 2015 was a blast!!!
Already starting the countdown until next summer!
