Evelyn’s 9th Birthday

Evelyn is 9 years old!  She had a wonderful "Under the Sea" party with friends.  We had a pirate ship bounce house, water balloons, bubbles, and tons of food.

Under the Sea cake.  I molded everything out of fondant. Such a fun cake...

We had 592 water  balloons to be exact!  Epic water balloon battle!

He bounced for almost 7 hours.  At one point, Joseph just started crying for no reason... he was just so tired

after hours of bouncing, Evelyn has bounced her hair into a mess

Aruba 4

 Last couple days...

We had a rare tropical storm while we were there.  "It never rains in Aruba," Pop Pop says.  Well, the Dai Family brought the rain!

Watching the clouds roll in

On our way to dinner and the kids discovered some fun spinning chairs

Very fun cheese wheel display.  They scrape the cheese wheel, light it on fire so it gets all melty, and then swirl the pasta inside... delicious!

Last full day...

Covering themselves in sand... then they'd stick seaweed in the sand, pretend they were birthday candles, and blow them out.  Silly kiddos

She's such a little dancer but insists she wants to do gymnastics and not dance.

She comes up with these poses all on her own

Waiting on his Dutch pancakes before we head to the airport.  What a long, but fun week!
