Beauties and Birthdays

We were able to celebrate birthday for two of our beauties this weekend at one of my favorite beautiful places to be.

This week

our Angel Girl turned 12

and

our Golden Girl turned 14.

They are growing up into such beautiful young woman.

We surprised these two beauties by taking them to the YWAM base that my missionary daughter is serving on and stayed the weekend . The past few years they have not been able to celebrate with their oldest sissy… who they adore…

So we packed up a suitcase and loaded the car up, while our unique son took them out for a soda. When they got back we told them we were going somewhere for the day for a family outing for their birthdays… oh the excitement. We took our special son, little one and unique son with us and headed off for our adventure.

Half way through the trip they began to wonder, but they did not ask any questions… until we stopped at a gas station we always stop at on our way to seeing their big sister.

When we arrived our missionary daughter had our cabin decorated for a birthday party.

We had a wonderful cabin with a wonderful view and enough room to move around and be comfortable. We got settled in and then went for a swim at the pool on the base, while hubby went into town to get some food for the weekend.

After hubby returned and the swim was done, unique son was off with his friends from the

base and missionary daughter was off to take engagement pictures for a couple on the base. We went to the playground and the girly girls did a little exploring…It was a beautiful day.

The next day was filled with deer observation, hikes and exploration, more swimming, a trip into town for the girlies to do a little shopping, a mini rain storm, a lesson in how to properly kill a rattlesnake, special son learning how to ride a bike and a birthday party celebration ending with a popcorn filled movie night.
