Lucy's 7th birthday

Seven!!! How is that even possible!!! Wasn't it just yesterday that this little girl was born?? For Lucy's birthday, she decided that she wanted to go to the Play Lodge in Asheville. Michael has been at Annual Conference in Junaluska this week, so this way we were able to have him be with us to celebrate.

We got there early (no traffic!) so we wandered around next door for a while. There is a great Garden center there and it always has fun stuff to look at. The kids enjoyed a ride in one of the wheelbarrows! ;)



When we got there, I had to get a picture of the boys in the rowboat in the baby play area . . . .look how big they are getting!!!!

This was last year . . . 

And here is when they were about 10 months old . . . all my children need to stop this growing!!!

Anyway, back to the party. . . we were the first ones there so the kids got to enjoy having the place to themselves for a while. It was so hard to get any pictures because they were mostly a blur of running here and there and everywhere!!

We did pose for a few! ;) 

Harper came up with Gramma and Pappy and Mama Mae. Everyone had a great time playing together.


Charlie had to get in a little train table time too!


We played for about an hour and a half and then it was time to take a break and get some lunch. Lucy wanted to go to her favorite restaurant in Asheville - Juicy Lucy!!!


 Once everyone ordered their food, we took a break from birthday celebrations to celebrate Father's Day with Pappy and Daddy.


Once lunch was finished though, Lucy couldn't wait to get into her presents!


Mama Mae got her the ice cream maker that she wanted! She was so excited and can't wait until she can use it. I imagine it will probably make its way down to the beach with us . . .

After presents, it was cupcake time!!! We managed to get all seven candles on one cupcake!!


The boys couldn't wait for cupcakes either - in fact, I think both of theirs were completely gone before Grammy had even gotten the wrapper off of her cupcake!!


We took a few pictures by the Juicy Lucy sign on our way out!


After lunch, we went back to the Play Lodge AGAIN for another two hours. I think those kids would have stayed until closing time, but it was getting very crowded. So intstead, we headed over to Ms. Kelly's house and went swimming in the pool!! By dinner time, these kids were exhausted!!!


We had such a fun day celebrating Lucy. I think she enjoyed her birthday as well!!
