Birthday Memories

Mackenzie's party was "under the sea" at our neighbor's pool. Of course it had to have a mermaid theme complete with a mermaid cake. Since the pool was free and she already had the Ariel bathing suit, I thought it was a grand idea.

Her friends thought it was very cool that she could stunt with her Daddy and by the end of the party they were all up in the air at one time or another. Nelson was a little sore the next day, but other than that there were no injuries.


Everyone had lots of fun. There's not a better way to celebrate an August birthday in the south than to go swimming.
She was pretty lucky because she had this party on Sunday and yesterday, on her real birthday, we went to the Georgia Aquarium and an Atlanta Braves game. This outing was at the request of my mom and my brother who both celebrated big birthdays this year. But because it was Mackenzie's actual birthday, she thought it was a very good day.
