Full fun weekend

We invited one of Kayla's closest friends, Abby, over to spend the day with us on Saturday and to spend the night. This was Abby's first "friend" sleepover! They are two peas in a pod and just don't stop being silly or laughing the entire time their together. They have a unique and special friendship that I hope lasts a very long time!

First we went to the Pine River Nature Center to watch the Bat Conservation's "nocturnal animal" program. We got to see a flying squirrel, a big brown bat and a fruit bat and a great horned owl. Then we played outside for hours jumping in piles of leaves that Daddy was making, did 'make your own taco' night, had hot cocoa and watched a movie with popcorn..... whew!

Kayla got to go up front because she guessed the presenter's "camouflage" question right

 Big brown bat, Michigan's largest bat

Fruit bat, not native to Michigan

There aren't too many girls more silly than them, and don't you think they kind of look like sisters?!

Then on Sunday, Kayla performed in her first Flicker Talent gymnastics show at Flames. It was a 1.5 hour show watching Kayla's latest skills on the floor, bars, beam and vault that Kayla's grandparents got to experience too! Thanks for coming to support Kayla!
