Happy Birthday, Nicole!

Ben surprised Nikki with a trip to Colorado as an early birthday present. We celebrated with a family trip to Water World, the largest water park in the U.S. . The entire family went ( minus Mike who, of course, had to work the entire time Nikki was here) and we all had such a great time. I have to post a few of the pictures side ways because I retrieved them off the external hard drive and don't know how to rotate them- I'm a work in progress!

Mackenzie was fearless! She went on the rides that she could- the only thing holding her back from the other rides was her size. She learned to make a " puffer fish" face and dunk herself under water and fearlessly walked out as far as her little lets would carry her into the deeper water!

Nikki had a special helper for blowing out the candles. This from scratch, gluten free carrot cake made by mom was awesome!

Mackenzie is still in love with the trampoline and begs everyone to jump with her. Aunt Katja wowed Mack with her mad trampolining skills!
