Father's Day Weekend at Roaring River

We had a good time at Roaring River in Cassville, MO, this past weekend. Shelby loved being outside, but hated getting dirty. She's definitely a girly-girl. She kept telling me "dirt" or "mud" and showing me her barely dirty hands. I tried to explain that when you are camping it's okay to get a little dirty, but I'm not sure she understood. It was pretty cute! Every bug is a "spider" right now and it is usually "hiding" (even if it's in plain sight!) She doesn't completely freak out, but I can tell she really doesn't like bugs. Shelby and her 3rd cousin (?) Tommy got along pretty well, except when Tommy sat in Shelby's little blue folding chair (which was most of the time). We worked on the concept of "sharing" a lot. She was interested in Tommy's little fishing pole, but never got a chance to play w/ it, as he was very protective. She had fun in Grandpa's camper and especially enjoyed waking him up at 2:00 a.m. the first night there. LOL!! We attribute it to her 2-year vaccination shot she had Friday morning...although I wonder if it was also because she was sleeping w/ Momma & Daddy and everything was different.

Happy 2nd Birthday, Shelby!

Shelby had a great 2nd birthday party on Sunday, June 1st (her birthday is the 2nd). She had so much fun opening her presents and showing everyone what she got! She loved her cake that Momma made :) and blew out her candle on her own! She is becoming such a big girl.

The outside pictures show Shelby and Summer playing in the sandbox Grandma got her and the ladybug sprinkler GG & Pop got her.
