Happy Birthday, Alina!

Alina's sister threw her a surprise birthday party last week, and we had such fun. Ava was too excited that we were going to Alina's and I was staying there the whole time! It was a gorgeous day, and we just hung out and relaxed. Here's the back of Alina's cute house...

And a far away picture of her nature center. The girls read books in there, have aquariums of various bugs and fauna, and do all sorts of random things.

There were several boat rides going on. I had Buca there so I stayed largely with him. I kept throwing sticks in the water and he kept jumping in the shallow end and swimming out to get them. He was exhausted! But at the end of the night, the six of us took a boat ride together. A beautiful sunset!

And fun times!

This summer Ava will be at Alina's full time, Max for three days a week, and Abby some days. Lake living... can't go wrong!

Alina--Happiest of happy birthdays! And thank you for all you do for us!
