Birthday Party for Bean Dip

Guess who is finally a teenager?! Man, why do I always give that away in the title...?

Bean Dip actually turned 13 last Sunday, but since we were out of town, it was pretty difficult to have a party. So we decided today would be the perfect day! We could use our newly-renewed Pass of all Passes and we could go to Seven Peaks Waterpark.

It was a perfect plan, except that my kids had 4 ball games this morning and Bossy's family had 2. Going out to play in the waterpark was pretty out of the question until the games were over.

We started our morning early at the Family Funfest our stake was having that included breakfast and family history games and workshops. The kids would have loved to stay for the entire time except that Curly's game started at 10:30, so we only got a short while to hang out at the church.

I was at the park from 10:00 until about 1:30 and then we rushed off to Sam's for groceries and then out to Lowe's to buy a new dishwasher and then back home to make sandwiches for our evening at Seven Peaks. Princess had already made cupcakes for us, so when Taco got here after his last game, we were mostly ready to go.

We loaded into the vans and arrived at the waterpark about 5:30. It was overcast and the water was pretty cold, but the kids still had a great time! We played until they closed the park up at 8:00.

We got home at 9:00 straight up and worked on cleaning up a bit and making more cake for Fajita's birthday party tomorrow. Princess also has Seminary Graduation and she is speaking in Sacrament Meeting. Some days there are just so many things...
