Foster Family: A Little Bit of Fall

This time I'm not going to even ask you to imagine that it's still months prior. I'm just behind. So, here's an attempt to fill you in on the happenings of Fall.

After Rachel got a clean bill of health, we had her birthday party with her friends. A few of her buddies weren't able to come, but we had some awesome little friends come and had a super time. This year she chose to have a Luau birthday party. They started with an outdoor treasure hunt - which we squeezed in between little rain storms.

The kids found their treasure -- leis, hair flowers, and treats. They played Luau themed games (some of them were a little bit of a stretch, but really, it isn't too hard to impress 5 and 6 year olds...), and ate rainbow cupcakes.

It was a fun party. Rachel has some very sweet little friends and she loves to be with them. Happy 6th Birthday, Rachey!

Another exciting thing that happened right after turning the ripe old age of six, was staring dance lessons. Rach was a little nervous, but decided she loved it the first day.

September also included a trip to the Park/Zoo with our cub scouts. They are a wild, squirrely bunch, but they're great! My kids love it when they get to join in on the fun.
