Abbey was a very cuddly baby. I often commented that I wish I had someone who could come in and just hold her while I got stuff done because she just liked being held!
Well, here's the birthday girl, 11 years later! Still as cute as ever!
We celebrated her birthday in reverse this year. We had church commitments on Weds., her actual birthday so we went out to dinner at Johnny Rockets with Grandma and Grandpa Feenstra on Tues night.
Then had cake and ice cream, then went to bed... In the morning, she had Daddy waffles with Blueberries on them for breakfast,
then opened presents..she got a new MSU sweatshirt!
Then brought Dirt Cups in for her birthday treats for school (which, by the way are WAY easier and yummier than cupcakes!!)

And then came home from school, made more dirt cups for the neighbors and then went to church. She had a fun day in reverse! I can't believe she's 11!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ABBEY! WE LOVE YOU!!!
We played a round of 3-D mini golf which was really fun!
And went on tons of rides. There were a few body rides and a lot of tube rides.
There was a lazy river in one part. We met our friends-the Breukinks at the hotel-we had adjoining rooms so we ate dinner together and watched MSU lose together. 
There were a lot of water falls and toys and slides and fun!
Here are the adventure riders...they just got off the Hurricane!
We walked around the hotel and they kept stopping here...the candy store...who can resist all these beautiful colors. Everything is so shining..it's just begging you to come in and taste...we made a few purchases here!
And the ultimate Lazer Tag battle...Adults vs. Kids...
Even though I took all these pictures so I really wasn't a contributor to the game...
and Kim
But we all had lots of fun!!!
We had a quick breakfast and then I took everyone on the tour. We went to my old grade school--it used to be Milwaukee Christian--even though we were in Brookfield but they have changed the name--and expanded the building and got a new mascot! We got a tour of the new school from the principal who is an uncle to one the girls I went to school with. His niece is Sue Brasser--or Sue B. as I know her! He said he also knew Sue T., whose husband is principal in Oostburg, and now he's met me so he's seen all three of the Sue's-who he called legendary! (I guess it is quite unusual to have 3 Sues in a class of 8-10 kids who went to school together from K-8th grade and then on to high school together!)
My brother Dan had this car parked next to the house while he was on his bike trip around the U.S. which took about 2 years (with a break of a few months for him to work so he could buy another bike after his was stolen.) I had quite a few kids ask me if I lived in the house with the Zebra car.
