We've Got a Teenager in the House, Gulp!

I became the proud parent of a teenage girl on Friday, July 13th (so appropriate, no?).  Hero skipped three years' worth of birthday parties so that she could have a big bash with friends for her 13th.  Being unable to weasel our ways out of that promise, we delivered on a bash with friends and family at Roaring Springs Waterpark.  Well, when I say we delivered, I'm being melodramatic.  I secretly LOVE waterpark birthdays because they are so easy on the parent.  I bring sunscreen, presents, towels, and my debit card.  That's about the extent of my contribution, yet I get lots of Supermom points because everyone has such a great time.  Hero celebrated the day with Mom and Dad, her sibs, her aunt and cousin, and six or seven friends.  She brought in a pile of loot that included hair stuff, makeup, room decor, gift cards, and a pair of Uggs.  I think the most thrilling thing for her, out of the whole shebang though, was finally gaining entry into that oh-so-cool Teenager club.

My grandaughter is not allowed to be that old! I'm glad you had a good time. I couldn't believe how tall and athletic she looks. God Bless you as you continue in life! Love Dad and Grandpa
