McKenna's 11th Birthday

McKenna was soooo excited to be able to celebrate her birthday in Spokane and get together with all her good buddies there. She said it was the best Birthday ever! After much deliberation, she decided she wanted to go to Triple Play with her friends.
Some of the things they enjoyed:
Go-Carts: Luckily, 3 out of the 6 girls were tall enough to drive so it worked out well. The other 3 got to take their lives in their hands and be passengers. :)


Rock Climbing: They all cheered one another on as each reached the top and rang the bell.

Laser Tag: What could be more fun that getting to shoot your friends? Even though they came out a little sweaty, they had a great time dodging all the lasers.

Bumper Boats: This was absolutely hilarious!!! The girls had all made a pact together before they got on the boats to not get wet because it was a little chilly outside. So, for the most part, they kept their ends of the deal... however they forget to take into account the poor driving skills some of them possessed. Luckily Shayla had to suffer the consequences alone and the others were able to stay pretty dry.



Bowling: I'm surprised at how well these 11 yr. old girls could bowl. Several of them broke 100! I'm lucky if I can break 100. :) Of course, they did rely heavily on the bumpers and also rolling the ball down the alley with two hands... backwards!


Cadie, McKenna, Zoe, Charli, Cheyenne & Shayla

Ice Cream Blizzards at DQ: One of McKenna's favorite desserts!

The girls all had a great time at Triple Play, but honestly, they could have been in somebody's backyard and had just as good a time. They were so happy to be back together again. McKenna really misses her good friends but I know they won't let distance stand in the way of life-long friendships! I'm glad she has such wonderful friends!

And thank you to my bestest friend for tagging along with me and keeping me company while the girls played! I loved our time together again!
