After pony rides, egg tosses, and water slides, the girls had a blast swimming with lots of bubbles before making homemade pizzas and s’mores by the campfire!

 

Here’s the birthday girl right before the egg toss game, and then the girls had a surprise guest come say, “Howdy!”  His name was ‘Buffalo Bill,’ and he came all the way from Wyoming to greet the girls! 

 

 

  

 

Rose was in heaven with all the big girls at the party!  She was right in the middle of her element, and truly thought she was just as big as everyone else.  She honestly doesn’t know the difference, lol!  She had a blast putting soap all over the girls’ faces, and they kept yelling, “Rose! Rose! My turn…” She worked the crowd, getting everyone soapy.  She thought she was doing big time favors.  It was adorable!  All the girls made her feel so special!  She’s a lucky little girl to have all of this excitement at such a young age!  One of the perks of being the 3rd girl in the family, for sure!

 

 

Baby girl in her zone, loving on the birthday girl!

 

 

After a delicious home-made horsey cake and presents, the girls had a pillow fight outside, enjoyed looking at the stars, playing in a tent, running around with glow sticks, roasting s’mores and playing more hilarious games with “Buffalo Bill!”  After all of that excitement, Rose and I said, “Night, night!” to our sissies and went home for a super quiet night’s sleep.  Although Noelle has spent the night with friends, this was her first slumber party.  This was Anna Kate’s first sleepover with friends and slumber party!  Both of the girls had a blast, and enjoyed lots of donuts the next morning.  In fact, Anna Kate told us she ate FIVE!  One of the joys of being four years old and getting a taste of freedom, ha!  So thankful for the Ladwig family and their friendship!  Happy Birthday, Bristin!
