Adalyn // 7 Years Old

Oh Ady girl. You are still my little sweet thing who I love so so deeply. You are a sensitive soul who loves big and plays hard. Your imagination is wild and you are always full of hugs and love. You can draw for hours and are often found making notes for me or your friends. You are still our social butterfly who everyone loves and you are still drawn to babies and always feel the need to pick them up. You feel so special when mommy braids your hair and just learned a couple of months ago how to braid yourself! You still love wearing dresses and probably would every day if we let you. I love seeing your excitement to join Drew this year at his school and can't wait to see your thrive in 'Big 1st'! Love you so much baby girl!!!! Happy Birthday!

July 4th

So the day before the Holiday we head over to my parents house for their parade. 

Poppa entered his car and the kiddos loved seeing him! 

Our July 4th started off just as it always has, with a 5K run for mommy with some friends!

After that we headed to our friends house to watch the parade! Our city has an amazing parade with tons of floats, horses, candy, etc!

Our friends even had a piñata for some added fun!!! 

Then after a short nap for the littles we head over to another friends house for their pool party! 

And then finally Gramma and Poppa came over for a late dessert and to watch the fireworks with us!

 

Flag Planting

So our little town is amazing and they line EVERY single street with flags. Like, legit, every single street. So that means every street needs a flag captain. Well, as you can guess, I've been the flag captain for 3 years in a row now and we love this tradition! This year we had some neighbor helpers so it was much easier but our town looks absolutely stunning driving through it once this is done. 

Ady's Soccer Camp

 Ady participated in soccer camp last week with her buddy and although it was pretty warm it wasn't scorching like it could have been! 

She also got an award for Camper of the Day on the second day and we were SO proud!!!

Fun Mountain And Pool Time

Big Cedar Lodge has this facility called Fun Mountain with so much to do for the kids! First up was the junior ropes course for Ady..

Then Drew and daddy did the big ropes course...

Ady also did the climbing wall and did awesome at it!

The kids LOVED the arcade...

And the pool was an afternoon necessity...

On our last evening we enjoyed our goodbye ice cream...

 

Silver Dollar City

The best way to describe Silver Dollar City would be cheesy and touristy but it was so fun! We went on countless rides and ate some delicious fair food!

Someone was OUT after that day of fun...
