We had a great time celebrating Sarah's nine years of life on Friday, May 7th. She invited about 10 girls to our home for lunch, games, cake and ice cream before piling in the Chuckwagon to head the 45 minutes to the Pike National Forest to play in our favorite place, the South Platte River. We moved the party to the backyard after her three siblings spent the week prior to the party battling one of the worst stomach viruses our family has ever experienced. We'd decorated the whole main floor with the decorations she'd picked out. She wanted a soccer theme since "soccer is my favorite sport, Mom." Decorating was the highlight of the day before the party, a very exciting activity that all four kids really enjoyed. Sarah was bummed that I decided on Friday morning not to allow the slumber party part of the bday celebration happen due to the virus that had just hit Fletcher. She'd planned to have four friends spend the night after the river adventure portion of the party ended. Thank You, God, I did make that decision because the virus hit Sarah on Saturday. Urghhh. By Monday, everyone was well. Only 11 short days of our family dealing with the stomach virus!! Here are the highlights from her fun birthday party (which two friends couldn't come to at the last minute because they were dealing with the same stomach flu!)
