As the summer started to wind down, Connally's third birthday was fast approaching. We surprised the girls with a weekend in Conroe, at the new La Torretta Del Lago. As always, they revel in the excitement of staying in a hotel.
I can't count the number of times we floated around the lazy river at the pool.
We also took the girls on their first boat ride. Garrick rented a pontoon boat, so packed another cooler and set off to sail on the "bumpy river," as Connally would call it.
The following day, we met Dave, Claude and Uncle Tommy at Gink and Uncle Jimmy's house for another stroll around the lake. What fun!
As for little bit's birthday party, we stressed over what to do...this would be her first "real" party with friends. She wanted a Maggie and the Ferocious Beast party in our backyard, but I didn't have the heart to invite people over for a mid-afternoon heat stroke. Nevertheless, McDonalds won our hearts.

She had 10 friends that joined us (okay, a few were Lucy's friends, but don't tell Connally...she thinks they are her friends, not Lucy's.) They all played on the playscape, as well as patiently waited for the facepainter to transform their little faces and arms into works of art. Happy meals, cake and ice cream were served.
Here's a slideshow of her party http://picasaweb.google.com/cjpitch/Summer200902?authkey=Gv1sRgCIeUqc_iz_qhSw#slideshow
Little Connally opened her presents and was so thankful for everything she received...she'd open it, ask if it was really for her, and then ask if she could take it home :) Her favorites were of course the babies and baby accessories, kitchen goods, playdough, strawberry shortcake and cleaning supplies.
Thanks to all for making it a success!
