Camryn and Kendra were so excited to go.
They brought back pictures.
Grandma told me that Camryn wanted to hike to the top of a pretty big hill. So off they went. It got pretty hard. Grandma asked Camryn if she wanted to go back. Camryn said no. She wanted to go all the way. Camryn had set a goal and was determined to make it. .
They had to take a break halfway.. .. . . . . . . . . .

Here they are at the top. Grandma and Grandpa said the pictures don't do the hill justice. It was really big.Grandpa said he couldn't get a good picture of the hill. He had to zoom way in to get them at the top.

Good job Camryn and Grandma!

They even got to do a little swimming.

I think it is safe to say that they had A LOT of fun!
When the guests had arrived, we started decorating boxes to keep their dress-up accessories in.

After the boxes were done, we ate lunch. Kendra got to pick the food. She picked cheese pizza, 
butterfly gummy treats, and little candies.

Everyone ate lots of candy and jello jigglers, but they actually did eat pizza too.

Lilly was so cute. I told her to close her eyes for eye-shadow. She shut her eyes as tight as possible. I asked her to close them softly. I think she squeezed them even tighter.
All of our beautiful girls are ready to go. From left: Camryn, McKenna, Kadance, Erin, Kendra, and Lilly.

Daddy picked out this toy. It is a monkey that spins around the metal bars. All the kids had to take a turn playing with it.

Grandma Petersen gave Kendra this Furrreal Kitty. Camryn got a similar one for her birthday. They both LOVE their kitties.

I just had to get a picture of these two beautiful people at the party.

Cake
We ate cake and icecream, then the girls all played. Soon it was time for the guests to go home.
Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for all your help. We all love you so much!
I hope you had a great birthday Kendra! I love you SO MUCH!!!!

That was so much fun! We really did have a great time. When we were camping, it was beautiful weather, the leaves were changing colors--it was a perfect day. I beg to differ on your description on what we climbed-- it was a MOUNTAIN, not a big hill. And Camryn was one determined little girl. I could see a lot of you in her. She really wanted to make it to the top, even though the top of that mountain was even beyond sight of Chad and Kendra below.
You both are such amazing parents. It's pretty impressive to see all you do for your girls. What a great party! We were so glad that we were there.
I'm always amazed at your creativity! I loved her constant smile on her face while being sung to. You guys are great parents!
You guys definitely know how to throw a party! Way cute. But I am most impressed... that you can still fit into dresses you wore in high school!
Now I need to go running or something so I can work off the rest of this baby weight. gah!
I LOVED Kendra's sweet smile the whole time everyone was singing her happy birthday, from her expression you can tell the party was an absolute success!!! What a fun party, I am always amazed at the parties you throw I know your girls will cherish them forever! I was rather hoping I could have gotten into that Ariel costume again and joined the formal event ;) Okay how many people can say that they still fit into the gowns they wore in high school! You and Kent looked AMAZING and of course the girls were breathtakingly beautiful too!!! They are going to melt some hearts in the years to come!!!
Oh and mom and dad can take our girls on a fun camping trip like that anytime! That could be a fun tradition with the girls and grandpa and grandma!
So cute! I need to get those pics to you! Yours look very cute though!!!! The hiking and camping pics are pretty!
That looks like so much fun. you are the COOLEST mom ever!!
