Naomi's 6th birthday weekend 3-11 to 3-14-10

I told Naomi we weren't going to have a birthday party for her this year, since it wears me out to throw them. So I told her we were going somewhere, as a surprise. I picked her up from school on Thursday the 11th of March and told her we were leaving right away to drive to visit Easton and Emma at their new home in Northern Ca. She was excited, but now too thrilled with the 6 1/2 hr drive since she didn't feel well and was having a hard time breathing. She slept for about the first 2 hours, then asked if we could go home around the third. I reasured her that it would be fun if she just waited till we got there. I had never been to No Ca, so I was just as clueless as to where we were going as she was. But we finally pulled into Rocklin around 9:30 pm.

Lindsay had planned a few things for us to do. On Friday we went to Bounce U, a warehouse filled with all sorts of bounce houses. The kids loved it. Lindsay and I even went on a lot of the slides with the kids. Then on Saterday we went to Fairytale land. It is a glorified park, but the kids loved all the themed areas to climb and play on.

Then we went back to Lindsays house and had cupcakes we had bought earlier in the day @ a specialty cupcake store. I had bought a few gifts for her to open, and Lindsay, Easton and Emma had picked out one too. It was a "small party" to satisfy her want of a party.

The Bleeckers were gracious hosts. The kids had fun in a new place and visiting with friends.
