End of Summer Shenanigans

In the past Abby has made cakes for Ava's birthday.  This year, Ava baked and decorated the cupcakes for her birthday party from scratch.  They looked and tasted great.
Ava's birthday party was held at SkyHigh - basically a large warehouse with tons of trampolines, trampoline dodgeball, and a laser maze (think Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible).  
The girls had a blast and topped off the party with pizza and cupcakes in the glow room.
Ava's actual birthday was a week later when she turned 9.  In the morning, Grandma and Grandpa - fresh off their camping trip with Ava - joined Abby, Chris, and Ava for mini golf and video games.

Grammy and Poppy joined us in the afternoon and we all had burgers for dinner.
Ava's last camp of the summer was with friends Sadie and Savannah at the Newport Aquatic Center where they canoed, kayaked, and paddleboarded each day. 
Back in our neighborhood, Gavin and Bryn invited Ava over to celebrate Ava's and Bryn's birthdays, and Ava received one of the best gifts ever, an inflatable pizza!
Joining Catherine and Edward in Palm Springs during the final weekend before school, Ava and Catherine put the pizza to good use, and also spent time just hanging out and relaxing.
School is back in session and that means more new adventures for Ava.  Stay tuned.
