Larkin is 6!


Larkin had her 6th birthday at the end of September. She said she wanted a "quiet family party" so we thought we'd combine that with a mini-vacation. We picked her up a little early from school on Friday and headed up to Dallas for a weekend at an indoor waterpark. The girls LOVED it! Willa is already planning her own birthday there too someday in the future.  

Sadie did ok but had the scare of her life about 5 minutes after we entered the waterpark. There is a huge bucket of water that fills up above a water playscape (1,000 gallons). We had just walked in and the girls ran up into the playscape, and Joel, Sadie, and I were down below (directly beneath the huge bucket of water!). There was this dinging sound (that we later realized was to warn you about the water drop!!) and then suddenly 1,000 gallons of water dumped right on our heads. Sadie was terrified and spent the rest of the weekend clinging to my swimsuit and always seemed to be on the lookout for water dumping on her!

 

Larkin's favorite gift was this dress from Aunt Laura and Uncle Matt--she wears it all the time!

Here's a pic she drew of herself wearing it
