Sweet little Lauren turned THREE today and we crashed her entire day to celebrate with her and slide at top speed and eat cupcakes. We had a wonderful day over at the Kennedys! So much fun that when I put James in his pajamas before heading home (after one last evening slide!), he asked me if we were spending the night :-)
In addition to sliding, there were kiddie pools and riding toys and butterfly catching attempts...
Near the end of the party, we sang to the birthday girl, and she was just a little shy to have the crowd focusing all their attention on her. Not too shy to blow out her #3 candle though!
Most of the day we stuck to the rule of sliding one at a time (and waiting for the person at the bottom of the slide to move out of the way first), but after the majority of the crowd left, Christina and I (and Aunt Sandy) took turns riding with the kiddos.
Daddy did a cannonball! Sorta...
The kids did a couple slide trains themselves when the adults got tired of climbing the stairs (and even more tired of trying to extricate ourselves from the very slippery catch pool at the bottom of the slide...)
When applying sunscreen, more is always better, right?...
The kids were lightweight enough to catch air on that bump, land in the pool, then jump up and get back in line immediately. Us adults though, especially when covered in 2-3 kids... we crashed into that wall with a force and then just had to lay there for a bit while the kids all got to safety before we attempted to flip over and crawl out!
The water at the bottom was quite warm... and that's just the color of our lovely Fisher Ferry water, so don't worry about that warmth - that's just an affect of "feels like 110" temperatures...
After lunch, and present opening, and dinner, the kids destroyed Will's room (don't worry, we helped clean up before we left at bedtime) and Jay snuggled in with Lauren's new blanket... Perhaps we SHOULD have just stayed the night? ;-)
