Abbie's Birthday Party

Today Madison got to go to one of her friend's birthday parties. It was Abbie Hitchcock, who Madison gets to see at church all the time. Abbie and her sister Rachel live in Forsyth County, but came up to Gainesville to have their party at a place called "ink." This place has all sorts of things to do for kids, from playgrounds to acting all grown up in pretend veterinary offices or courtrooms. Lots of sponsors set up small offices, so kids can pretend they run a grocery store, or shop there. Or they can pretend they're driving an old fashioned fire truck or a brand new police car. You can see in the photo here that Madison and Abbie were playing dress-up to perform on a mini-stage - they both had a great time today.

Madison kept busy all day, between playing at the party and having fun at the church as we set up for our new series. Daddy is still at work, taking a break from setting things up, but Madison had fun helping with skateboards and other Xtreme sport-related props. She's seen the new set before all the other kids and I'm happy to report that she give it two thumbs up.

It was a good day, and we were wanting to check out that place for the party today anyway. We'll certainly be back - Madison enjoyed it very much. She had a very happy day!

Here she is, going after that ice cream already!
