Ada's 2nd Birthday

Ada turned 2 at the end of July! We had her party at Paschal Park next to our pool. The girls had fun putting their feet in the cool stream. It was in the upper 90's with a heat index of over 100 degrees, so the water felt really good. We had a cook out lunch before presents and cake with our families. After the festivities we took a short hike to the cave at the back of the park. The air coming out of it felt like air conditioning! After our hike, we went to the pool. After naps, Leah, Brian, and Isaac came over to our house for a visit.

I made butterfly cakes for Ada's party. Not nearly as complicated as the dragon that Josephine requests, but I thought they were cute.


Ada was sleepy before her party even started.

Ada stayed down at the bottom. That's all we needed was for Ada to fall into a cave on her birthday. (And she would have fallen!)

Ada and Isaac played with the ball.


Ada must have fallen.

Happy Birthday, Ada!!
