We went to Ephraim to be with my mom and Lynn over Elle's birthday, because Andy had his third and final (thank goodness) YM Campout the weekend of Aug. 4th. My mom was so great to take care of all of the details, we just got to show up and enjoy the cute little party...well, most of us were enjoying it...

| She loved exploring Gramma's beautiful new backyard. |
 |
| We spent a lot of time in the sandbox. |
We were laughing so hard, because immediately when we started to sing "Happy Birthday", she lays her head down into her hands on the table and starts crying the saddest cry. She did not like the attention she was getting, so the other three had to blow out her candles for her.
She did like opening presents. My mom got her a cute little box of princess books, and a princess collapsable tent (which she plays in EVERYDAY).
After lunch we had cake and ice cream, then we headed into Manti to swim at their brand new city pool. It's so nice!

| We love the Manti pool! It has a waterslide, lazy river, great kids area, and it's never very crowded. Plus it is RIGHT across the street from the temple, so you can sit and look at it while you swim. |
Thanks, Gramma Stratford, for making her birthday a special one, and for letting us come and stay a few nights! We had a great time!
