4, really?

Our little Kayla turned 4 years old! Wow. We had a nice family celebration on her birthday thursday with a quiche for dinner as she had requested. There was a celebration at her school that day too with some gingerbread and whipped cream.

On Friday Tim was home, and we had Micah over in the afternoon for cupcakes before taking the bus to the Scratch Patch for some rock hunting fun. We did this outing in lieu of a party this year. The Scratch patch is a store with two rooms full of rocks scattered on the floor. You can sit right in them to find your favorite and identify them if you’d like.

This picture shows Kayla saying “oh, so pretty”. The girls were all able to take home a bag of their favorite rocks and gems.

The bus was pretty fun for the girls too, and though we had to walk as far as we were able to ride, no one seemed to mind. It was a beautiful sunny day out, and we went home to play in the backyard in Kayla’s new tent/tunnel contraption from her London family (thanks guys).
