Happy 9th Birthday Madeline

Happy 9th birthday to my little blonde bombshell Madeline Marie. She is so full of everything, including style, pizazz, creativity, sensitivity, keen observational skills, an ironclad memory, a sense of others, so much love, so much of every big feeling in fact... We love her so much, she is such a complex and intricate work of art, and such a blessing to our family,

On her birthday, she chose to taker her Mom and siblings to Alderbrook Park for a day of swimming, mini golf, volleyball, petting zoo, paddle boating, train rides, cotton candy, shaved ice, creek exploring, pirate ship climbing, bounce housing fun. Here's the thing about this park : THEY HAVE NO COFFEE BAR. They sell plenty of beer and hot dogs, but where is the caffeine people. The energy required for this day is off the chain. I love that despite this observation, I could (mostly) keep up with these four energetic kids! We shut the place down, rolling out of the parking lot 45 minutes after closing ;)
