Morgans Birthday Present

Our niece Morgans birthday was May 9 and we missed her party because we were in Ethiopia meeting Sofia.  Her birthday present from us this year was to spend the day with us doing whatever she wanted.  Her older sister has already asked me if she is going to get the same thing for her birthday, so it must have been a hit!  When I picked Morgan up she told me that she wanted to go to the park...
We tried all the equipment.  I took a lot of pictures of Morgan and Sofia and Morgan even took a couple of pictures of Sofia and I!  Qimik had fun running around while we played.  
Then it was time for Sofias nap.  I asked Morgan what she wanted to do while Sofia was sleeping and her told me that she "could help me clean my house" ... surely we can come up with something more fun!?  (and for the record my house is not that dirty that it bothers a 4 year old, she is just likes cleaning!)  Instead of cleaning we had lunch and then she went outside to play on the trampoline.  When Sofia woke up Morgan told me that she'd like to go to the beach...
The beach was pretty fun.  Morgan was digging holes trying to get to China or Africa, we couldn't decide what is on the other side of the world from us.  Qimik also likes to dig holes and he speed up Morgans progress.  At first she was upset but when she saw how fast and deep he could dig she was very excited!  Sofia just liked banging the sand toys together, I think next year she'll be more into the digging.  After the beach Morgan chose Boston Pizza for dinner...
Ah, what a fun day!  Thanks for hanging out with us Morgan! and Happy Birthday!!!
