Shelly is 35!

So, for Shelly's birthday, we wanted to do something different. Something we hadn't done before. It's August. We've had a good year for rain. It seemed like a great day to spend some time on a lake. So, we went to a nearby reservoir, rented a paddle board, and played on the beach. It was a lot of fun!

It seems to almost sink for me. Hmmm.

Can't believe how grown up she looks!

Chase took off on his own. Shelly had to go out to rescue him.

Hannah excited about the ducks. She fed them some "Pirate's Booty"

We were able to return home and continue the celebration with opening presents.

Anticipation!

Shelly requested fruit pizza for her treat this year. It was delicious, thanks to Mel's Kitchen Cafe!

We love you, Shelly. Happy 35th birthday!
