39 & 7

my birthday was a week ago.

it was a great day.

i was helping at the VBS at our church and had fun morning with the kids.

my parents came up for the afternoon and then dinner at Boston Pizza.

on the way home we stopped at High Falls, a waterfall not too far from our house.

family photo at the falls.  

we spent some time there, exploring.

then we checked the mail before we got to the house.my gift from my husband was there in the mailbox.

it was a slackline just like i had been hoping for.

so excited.

we got the kids to bed and set it up to try it out.

even more excited.

the next day we had friends over to hang out and try it.

so much fun!
