My 9th Birthday!!

Wow, the coolest surprise B-Day party ever!!  Friends hid in a rental van and jumped out to squirt me with silly string...  We drove up to the gem mine in this super neat van that had a drop-down tv (and yes, we watched Scooby Doo videos!...)  Then we got to mine for lots and lots of treasures, have a picnic together, play, open presents, have cake and visit the gift shop.  WOW!!!
