Rebecca informed us that we had never let her have a big birthday party (like Christian has), so we decided that we'd do one for her on her 13th birthday. She invited a bunch of friends from school and church and we had it at the church. We had all sorts of fun outdoor games, including water balloons for the kids to play. Please remember it is June 1st.....well, a cold front moved in and it was in the low 50's. So needless to say, we FROZE spending hours filling up hundreds and hundreds of water balloons!
But she had a great turnout for the party and all the kids had a great time. We have some favorite outdoor group games from our "youth group" days and everyone loves them. So we spent lots of time playing them outside!
We are thankful for our sweet Rebecca and her group of friends from both school and church.
Happy 13th!

 |
| Rebecca & Lauren had just defended their castle by smashing incoming water balloons! |
 |
| Matt & Rebecca got into a sword fight - it was so funny! |
 |
| They just whacked the heck out of each other - Matt's Mom was appalled that Matt would fight with her, but it was hilarious! |
