10 years old!!!! Happy Birthday Mia!

Mia celebrated 10 years this weekend! I can't even believe that my youngest is 10 years old! She was so excited for her birthday. She didn't have school on Friday - so she and I drove to Bamberg and had one of her best friends stay over with us there. The next day we went to Playmobil Fun Park and the girls had such a fun time. The great thing about Playmobil is that there are no rides - instead it is all interactive and the the kids must use their imaginations to really enjoy the place.  On Sunday, we celebrated as a family and had cupcakes, presents, and Doners for dinner (her choice :-)).  I cannot even imagine our lives without Mia. She is so kind, gentle, and caring. She definitely makes me a better person and I am so unbelievably grateful to be her Mom. She is my little "sticker" (because we are always together) - I adore her beyond words!!! Happy Birthday sweet Xuey!!!

These 2 had so much fun!

Lots of cool things to do...

Her friend "locked her up" in the dungeon :-)

They peddaled bikes to sqirt the boaters...

There was a playmobil "dud ranch" and they had to "rope the cattle"

And they could sift for gems in the mine...

a little boat paddling...

and pirate ship ...

yes - gotta love the liability (or lack of) paddling on slippery wood, standing up, and no life jackets (it wasn't very deep, but still I always chuckle at the differences :-))

They have an enormous indoor section of the park too, where they have a huge indoor playground and all of the playmobil toys you can image (you can even build your own person for a euro :-)

So many pieces everywhere , but everything is washed daily, so it is extremely clean and so much fun for the kids

The only bad thing is that no one wants to leave their spot in fear of the next kids coming by and "messing up" their creations 

tons of possibilities!

I wanted to move in to this place :-)

Happy Birthday sweet Mia!!

We love you so much!

Can't even believe that you are 10!!!
