Alayna's Birthday!

Yesterday was Alayna's 19th birthday! We had a special breakfast, and Alayna opened her gift basket. She got a book about canning, rose petal tea, and a few cards. After that, we, (all but Mama) went up to visit the horses!  Here are a few photos...

Our sweet 19 year old...

The gift basket. It had been wrapped up with tool, and tied with a ribbon, but I got there to late to get that shot.

Rose petal tea....

Turning Tammy..

She rode side saddle a bit too!

  She actually galloped bare back, but my camera doesn't do well with a lot of movement, so I couldn't get anything but a blur.  

Lily Ann and Justice got to ride too!

After we went to the horses, we came back and ate lunch. Apparently, Mama had stayed home and put together a treasure hunt for Alayna!  We had a very nice time hunting for the treasure.Here are some photos:

The first clue was taped on a balloon that was hanging as a decoration in the kitchen.

She found the clue that was on Kep, and it directed her to this one. (It was under the pink streamer.)

On the way again.

Do you see the clue inside the balloon? Bo had given Alayna a Snap Arrow Toy on the way, so that when she found the balloon, she could shoot it, and get the clue out.

Shooting the balloon... That clue told us to take a swim in the lake.

So we did!!!

Russell really enjoyed his time in the water!

The next clue told Alayna to go wash the lunch dishes. She found the next clue in a jar with a lid. It led us to the treasure..... A kindle reader!!! It was Mamaw and Bompa's present to her.(Our grand parents.)  She has already been using it quite a bit.
