We were invited over to the Egberts to celebrate Rachael's 16th birthday. The kids were really excited to go since they heard Sister Egbert would be making home made ice cream. The kids had been looking forward to this day since they went to Whitney's party last year. They debated all week who would be able to lick the paddle. In the end it was Zoe, Noah was too embarrassed this time around.
The kids loved jumping on the trampoline. They keep begging for us to get one for our yard.
The birthday girl was even kind enough to take some time away from her older guests and give the little kids the attention they craved. It was so fun to watch her play with them and make each one feel special.
Jack loved the ice cream. I'm guessing his favorite was the Root Beer Ice Cream. I think I enjoyed the vanilla almond more.
The older kids were playing volleyball and these little ones wanted in on the action too. Tressa was kind enough to hold a mini volleyball camp for them in the side yard. I hear my son has some mean skills. Maybe this will be a sport that interests him. She said he was the only one who really made contact with the ball.
We noticed a fire had started on the hill outside of Fernley on our way to the party. The smoke was pretty thick and you could smell it. By the end of the party you could actually see the flames cresting the hill top. Noah said a prayer that it wouldn't burn the Egbert's house. We weren't too concerned as it would have to jump the freeway to get anywhere near us. 
It was a great start to the 4th of July weekend.

How fun how nice of Rachael to take the time to play with them. I wish I could have been the one to lick the thing of ice cream.
