My beautiful girl on her eighth birthday.
She picked an underwater-themed birthday party and invited her entire Girl Scout troop.
Her birthday present, a beta fish. She named him Mooney.
May all your wishes come true, Alexa
Then we went on a Girl Scout night hike at a nearby arboretum.
The girls all enjoyed this and we learned a lot.
The night ended with a bonfire and roasting marshmallows. The girls sang "Happy Birthday" to Alexa.
The next morning, our family ran a 5K race. This was Gavin's first 5K and he did really good. The race was called "When I Grow Up" and kids were encouraged to dress up in costume to show what they want to be as adults. Alexa wants to be a farmer engineer and Gavin wants to be a soccer player.
The final stretch of the race- almost there!
Gavin was upset that Alexa beat him, but finishing in 35 minutes is pretty impressive for a six year old.
Alexa ran the whole race in that long lab jacket. She had to remove her safety goggles because they kept fogging up on her.
