A Minecraft Birthday Party!!!

I'm 11 years old today!  I had an AWESOME party with my friends today at Stevi B's Pizza!  Everyone had fun trying on my new STEVE mask, and of course we DESTROYED my Creeper cake!  Happy Birthday to me!!!!

A visit with Gigi and Mr. James

Last weekend, Gigi and Mr. James came for a visit and we had a GREAT time!   I have been to their house twice this year, and now they came to visit mine.  They enjoyed meeting my goats, too.  The best thing was my early birthday present - a big stuffed gorilla that I named KONG!  He is awesome! I was sad when they had to leave after church on Sunday :( 

HAHAHA!!!  Check out my birthday present - KONG!  I love him!

I love my Gigi!!!!

Camping at East Bank

Mama, Daddy, and I headed to Lake Seminole for this past Labor Day weekend!  It was great to be camping  again since we hadn't been in quite a while.  One of the best parts was meeting a friend for the weekend, Jeremy, who was nine years old and from Tallahassee, FL.  He was camping with his grandparents.  We fished in the lake and rode our bicycles like little wild men :)

Pretty sunset on the lake

My Dad, the Grillmaster!

That's me!

Fishing with Jeremy

Dam!

Our campsite has a big "front  yard"

We visited a nearby Torreya State Park in Florida, which has this beautiful antebellum home called the Gregory House.

The Gregory House has a great view of the Apalachicola River in the back

The State Park is named for the Torreya Tree.

Harry Potter!

Our library hosted a special "Harry Potter Birthday" on July 30 and it was awesome.  Of course I had the perfect outfit to wear, since I was Harry Potter for Halloween in 2011 (minus the glasses, but then again, I am an older Harry Potter now!)  Hedwig was a big hit :)

Summer 2013!

This summer was SPECTACULAR!!!  In July I attended Camp Lee for the second time - our church's children's camp.  I look forward to it every year now.  Next up was CAMP KEATON after a fun visit with Gigi and Mr. James.  Then it was on to the grandparents' in Lucedale - Grammy and G-Daddy and Grandbob and Papa - before Mama and Daddy came to bring me home.  Here are some photos of my fun...in no particular order...! ;)
