Happy 8th Birthday Lilybug! (part 1)

What an absolutely perfect birthday weekend.  What initially was a 3 day weekend for Lily's birthday turned into an enhanced 4 day weekend since we had friends with different days off.  We started Friday night off by picking up Rut and enjoying Kids Night Out at the clubhouse.  Lily and Rut were joined by a bunch of beach friends for further enjoyment.  Later than evening, Simone & Dahlia joined us and it was slumber party fun for the next three nights!

Saturday was an all out all day affair with our community Fall Fest going on and then Lily's Birthday Party.  The fall fest had scarecrow making, carmel apples, pumpkin painting and even rides around the community in a real big fire truck.  The kids loved it.  Then we prepped and enjoyed Lily's birthday party.  There was swimming, food and loads and loads of playing.  The best part is that we had it at the clubhouse which meant minimal clean up for the parents.
