Ella got to spend her birthday with her cousins at the Salmon River so she was super happy. We gave her a few presents in the morning.
I went down to the river with the kids since they were not allowed to go by it all weekend - it was so high.
Grandma Carol brought cupcakes and ice cream so everybody sang to her.
She requested we go to Custer county and see the little ghost town there. Boone and Alans family came with us.
This picture makes me laugh with Lincoln headed for the drink we picked up before we headed to Custer.
We saw lots of old things.
The kids got to mine for gold and a few of them found some specks.
Sitting in an old classroom.
Making crazy faces.
Lincoln loves his cousins.
As always it's fun to see the dredge.

Before we left the river that day Uncle Boone brought out some fireworks for the kids to admire.
A few days later Ella got to invite some friends over for a "late night" birthday party. Those girls ate some crazy amounts of food! Makes me realize why our grocery bill is so high. Between the amount of food my kids eat and the company we always have over ... we go through a lot of food. They ate, watched a movie and played outside. It was a great day.

Ella has grown up so much this year. She has learned some important life lessons about getting good grades and choosing good friends. She has started to babysit the girls for me and after a few rough times I think she has the hang of it now. She is a DRAMA QUEEN! She is dramatic about everything and so emotional. She has a lot of friends and quick to make friends. She had such a hard time choosing who would come to her party because she wanted to invite her whole 4th grade.. and some 3rd graders and 2nd graders. ha ha
It's hard to believe she is 10. Love this Ella girl.
