And Mary turns 9 years old

Mary will be nine in 2 more days.  This year to celebrate her birthday, she wanted to go to a hotel (one of her most favorite things to do) invite a couple of friends and have a sleep over.  She also wanted it to be in Salt Lake with Salt Lake friends.  She has been so excited for this.  We finally got to the hotel at 7:00 on Friday.  That was 4 hours later than what we wanted it to be.  She wanted to check in as soon as they would let us.  But of course, I had some work I had to get done.  We ran late but finally the fun started.  We went swimming, ate pizza, watched Grease, polished fingernails and toenails.  Some wanted to go to sleep.  Some wanted to stay up.  Finally at 3:00 everyone was sleeping.  Then we had to get up at 8:00 that turned into 9:00.  Ate free hotel breakfast, went swimming.  Got to friends soccor game late. They won while we were driving around looking for the field. Hung out with same two friends until afternoon.  Went to cousins house to play and visit some more. Left way late and got home even later Saturday night.  Skipped church because we were so tired.  Still not quite caught up on sleep. But we had a lot of fun!

I should have pictures.  I took a camera and forgot to take pictures.  Earl left me a great camera that I barely know how to use.  I bought a smaller camera that fits in my pocket.  It has been lost.  Haven't seen it since the family reunion.  I have a camera on my phone.  I forget that it is there.  I have no pictures.
