Jorja's 11

Today is Jorja's birthday!  Mike and I started off this morning by going to our last exercise class.  We had to get weighed in as well.  I lost 5 pounds and 2% body fat.  Pretty good since I didn't follow the eating program AT ALL!

Jorja wanted to open her presents in the morning.  She got spoiled.  A new computer, a nice Chinese chess board, an origami book, new shoes (to be picked out later), ice cream cookies from Maysen, and this cute frog figurine from Stockton.

After presents we packed up and headed out to Lagoon.  Maysen drove us there.  Our first ride was The Spider.  We saw Courtney right as we were getting in line, so we were able to ride the ride with Kalli and Tarek.

Bubs and Ange met us there.  They are celebrating Lincoln's 8th birthday.  We also saw Jackie and Mark, Courtney, Dan and their family (already mentioned that), Jake and Jana and their girls, and Jackson and Chelsea.  Pretty cool!

Preston was also able to ride rides that he had to be 46 inches for the FIRST TIME!  Here he is riding the swings.  He was SO EXCITED! When we realized he was right at 46 inches we ran back to Spider.  The line was now pretty long, but we waited in it anyway.  Preston got to ride it!  He sat next to me and loved it.  Yay!  This is going to make Lagoon so much nicer!

Some of our group wanted to go on Odysea.  I was not one of them.  I watched Abby.  I also watched Bubs' phone so it wouldn't get wet. Taking care of one of the two isn't bad, right?  At least I didn't lose Abby.

Luckily someone found Bubs' phone and turned it into lost and found.  I love these next pictures of Stockton and Millie.  Stockton loves her!  She loves Stockton's braces.

Jorja and Preston were able to go through a little kid 'haunted house'. They collected treats and did a different ten second activity in each area.

Jorja and Preston danced here to get their prize.

We went to a more grown-up spook ally as well.  You had to wear 3-D glasses.  Mike was wearing his I love Robots shirt.  Those words glowed in the haunted house.  A lot of the actors had fun pretending they were robots.  It was pretty funny.

We left Lagoon around 4:00.  Stopped and picked up a Chick-Fil-A party platter and a Cold Stone cake.  Stockton always asks for Cold Stone cakes.  Jorja decided she wanted one too this year.  It was nice not to have to cook with my apple chaos.  Jorja picked out a yellow cake, mint ice cream with oreos mixed in.  It was pretty delicious.

I have two packages of number candles.  For some reason the number 1 was missing out of one of the packages.  Which is too bad if you are turning 11.  We put 8 for Lincoln and 3 for Jorja.  8+3=11.  Bubs and Ange gave Jorja a birthday card that said she was turning 3.  They crossed it out and put 11, but they picked the card because it had three frogs on it.  Maybe Jorja is turning 3 this year?  I wouldn't mind having her three again.  She was adorable.  Although she is pretty amazing right now.
