Happy Birthday Charley!!

We celebrated Charley's 5th Birthday at Fast Lanes!


The kids had a blast using their "credit cards" to play all the games.  They jumped from game to game collecting tickets....we could hardly keep up with them!



 But their favorite part was.....Laser Tag!!!


The birthday girl....



Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday to You....


Opening presents with a lot of help...

Gigi and Papa Bart come to visit....

Weekend visits from Papa Bart and Gigi are one of the kids favorites!  This weekend we decided to go to the Bentonville farmers market, play at the splash park, and try Crepes Paulette!


excited about the peaches he picked at the farmers market...



After making our way through the farmers market and buying a few goodies, we headed to the splash park.  This was our first time and it was definitely a hit!


Owen ran right in, but Miss Ava Kate took a little while to warm up to it….



trying it out with big brothers help….


so sweet…


not sure if we are helping or pushing here!?!




While the kids were playing at the splash park, we all took turns standing in line at Crepes Paulette!  It took about 45 minutes, but was totally worth the wait!  We all got something different and they were all delicious!!


posing with Papa Bart….


trying a bite of the strawberry crepe…. 
(these are not really "Owen friendly" so we packed a lunch for the kiddos, but had to let him try a few bites)

We ended the weekend with some pool time…



...and a little sidewalk art

dress up like a cow for free Chik-fil-a….the kids thought it was hilarious!


Brooklyn's birthday party….old friends re-unite.  Owen, Emmie, and Brooklyn went to daycare together from 3 months old to 4 years old, but are all now at different schools.  It was fun for them to see each other again.
