May Chronicles

Here is what you are looking at from May:

Addie's 7th Birthday- was all things tiny. She recently taught herself the art of balloon sculpting with the help of the ever-genius Klutz. It's a skill that gains her a lot of adoration. She entertained her party guests with custom hats.

Ballet Recital- In January Addie set a goal to learn ballet this year. We think she has found her dance niche. She really enjoyed this class and performance...to say nothing of the beautiful costume. For the week that it hung, out of reach, in the top of my closet she would frequently visit it and declare just how wonderful it was.

Memorial Day Campout at Zion National Park- you can't beat a trip to Zion with great friends, weather that doesn't break 80' and a campsite where you don't see another soul. The crowning achievement was the whole family hiking up to Scout Lookout on Angel's Landing. That's a 5 mile trip up and back down 1200ft! Yea for little legs! Of course they all loved Walter's Wiggles and had most of the passing hikers totally amazed. It was hard not to notice 9 kids to say nothing of the (joyful) noise they were making. We thought they were so awesome. Addie and Aaron ventured up the last 1/2 mile to the top of Angel's Landing. Addie says she wasn't scared at all and points out that she is extra cool for doing it in Crocs.
