The Tuesday after we got home from Utah(6/10) we had a little water party for Koen. When we woke up the weather was deffinetly iffy. Phil being the optimistic person he is said "just do it." So we set up two pools, a sprinkler, the water table and any other toy we thought would be apealing and hoped the weather would hold out. When the kids got here Koen had already been playing in the water for like an hour, which was great for my prep! So when they came we let them at it. They seemed to all enjoy themselves.

We took a intermission with the swimming and had pizza, subs, fruit and chips for lunch!

After lunch some of the kids played a little more and the others wanted cake! So we busted out Koen's Elmo cupcake cake. I decided to do Elmo since he had already had a cars cake, his two favs! (side note, I am kind of proud of this masterpiece but a little embarrased at the same time...first try. Koen did however think it was pretty cool. I)



I am sad I didnt get one of Jace and Kassidy, they were too busy playing at the water table!

Then we let Koen open his presents. I decided I am not sure why we give toys in packaging...all they say when they open it is "out please"! Koen got some great gifts! Catepilar trucks, 2 pairs of summer jammies, a great Elmo toy, cars sand toys, an Elmo aquadoodle, bat and ball, and then with the gift card his Nana gave him we got a alphabet fridge toy, a bubble blowing airplane, and stacking/nesting cars! He loves all his present! So thank you everone!



Over all I think the party was a hit. And about five minutes after everyone left...this is what we had...

Lucky us, it held out just long enough!
PS Sorry if you hate the collages, I like them better than slide shows. And if you didn't know, you can click on them to enlarge.
