After our family getaway in Baguio, some good friends met us in Manila to help us celebrate Mikayla's 13th birthday. We are officially the parents of a teenager! We were so thankful our friends came up to hang out for a couple days and help us celebrate her big day.
At Mikayla's request, we went to Enchanted Kingdom (a small amusement park in Manila) to celebrate. They have some fun little rides, made all the more exciting if you are at all acquainted with how Filipino engineering is usually maintained. :) However, everything seemed well-taken-care-of, and we felt safe so don't worry, Grandma! :)
Mikayla so enjoyed having one of her best friends with her to help her celebrate. The two girls got their faces painted - right before going on a water ride. Fail. :)
Carly also helped us do some swimsuit shopping for Mikayla's birthday present. Shopping is always more fun with a friend, right?
We also got to eat at Mikayla's favorite restaurant in Manila - Chili's.
And of course we made sure they sang to her.
Happy Birthday, sweet Mikayla! We love you and are so very proud of the young woman you are becoming! God is using you mightily, and we know He has big plans in store for you as you continue to seek after Him with your whole heart.
