Happy Children's Day!!

To celebrate Children's Day ( A Chinese holiday), our group had a pool party/ cookout at Madi's house. The girls (and parents) had a blast! They played on the swing set, jumped on the big trampoline, played a few rounds of Duck-Duck-Goose, swam in the pool, and ate some great food. It was a great way to celebrate the wonderful children we are very blessed to have in our lives. Ally, Leah, and Gracie
The girls all sat under the big trampoline to get instructions for each round of the scavenger hunt that was so sweetly organized by Madi's big (11 year old) sister, Mary. After Mary gave hints and instructions, the girls would scramble out to find the hidden treasures. Once found, they would all run quickly back under the trampoline. There were a few bumped heads, but fun was had by all!

Gracie was so proud of herself for jumping in the deep end and going all the way under water... over and over and over...

"Cheese!"
The entire group (except Ally) piled onto this float before it capsized! Happy Children's Day to all the wonderful children who brighten our lives every day!

Wow, that sure looks like fun! Too cool to swim here yet. How brave is Gracie to jump in the deep end! Not a surprise though, she's fearless! Harrison looks especially handsome in his new ride! ;)

I didn't even know about this holiday! Shame on me!
