Happy Clark Family: Good times in June!

We were so happy to have a visit this week from my brother in law, Ralph, and his two wonderful little girls, Candace and Gillian. It so happened to be Gillian's 6th birthday. That child was not out of the car three seconds before she asked if I was maybe going to make her a cake. Aunt Erin doesn't have time to bake cakes at this exact moment in time, but thanks to her daddy I had the birthday cake already purchased :)

The classic part was that the flash wouldn't go off for Lewis when we actually sang Happy Birthday and blew out candles so Lewis made her "fake" the whole thing to be recorded! She was a very good sport and really just wanted to eat some cake...good girl.

A seamstress, I am not. I wanted to make the girls simple little pool cover ups, but I just did the best I could and they seemed to really like the fact that I had tried at all. It was late at night and I was also trying to help them make Father's Day cards which turned out to be just a hodge podge of excess stickers I had. I kind of failed on both but gave them entertainment for a few good hours. I'm sure Red Grandma can fix Gillian and Candace's dresses...:) Again these are only pool cover ups, not Sunday best dresses.

We also attended the Ormond Beach Seafood Festival this weekend, which was just begging me to buy some steamed crab from Hull's, but we refrained and just let the girls play for a few hours.

Anna Kate is officially big enough to be in the bounce house even though I continue to have mini strokes outside while watching the near misses from big kids taking her out.

She and Elizabeth loved this little obstacle course bounce thing and my favorite part was Anna Kate "backing" her way through parts of it. Yes this is her backing through something, not the tail end of her going through...

We didn't experience this last little gem until we were just sweaty messes and exhausted. It was all worth it though just to see Lew throw her on the velcro wall.
