Andrea turned 7 July 24th. We have made it a tradition in our family to go camping for her birthday. It is something that we all look forward to each year. This year our friend came up and brought cake and ice cream. Andrea was surprised with her new pink bike! It is nice to get away and spend time with the kids and really celebrate Andrea. Her birthday falls on Pioneer Day which is a holiday in Utah. They have parades and a celebration at the park and end the day with fireworks and we really like to make this day about her.
I let the kids invite friends and each year, they put on a play that they "write". It is always fun to see what they come up with.
This year Andrea was the princess, Bizzy (on the corner in the black) was a trouble causing gargoyle, Alex and his friend Chase were the detectives, and Patricia was the maid.
A sweet action shot of the detectives trying to catch the gargoyle.
And of course we played many board and card games! We really enjoy our time together and I LOVE getting away from phones, computers and TV!

How fun!!! I'm glad you all had such a great time and Andrea had a fun birthday it looks like! I'm happy that you were still able to go. :)
Camping is a great way to spend Andrea's birthday. Lucky for you, you are in UT and it's a HOLIDAY! Woo hoo! The play looks cute.
I still don't have a bike for Kai. Maybe we should get him one before he's a teenager ya think?
Oh that is such a great tradition. It looks like you all had tons of fun.
What a fun getaway!!! I'm jealous! Tell Andrea Happy Birthday!! We love you guys!
