Sometimes I think kids' parties can be a little overdone. All you need is a little water play, good food, and some bumpin tunes and it's a hit.(We had a fun mix of the Lion King, Jungle Book, and for the parents: a little Brass Monkey, Eye of the Tiger, Welcome to the Jungle, etc.)We started off our party coloring Zebra puppets and decorating safari sun visors. Then headed out back for a little slip n slide (which the birthday boy loved crawling up and down) and kiddie pool. When Lukey saw his pool full of kids and no room for him, he headed in side to grab some reinforcements: Grandma and his golf club. What more does a kid need to regulate? After some time out side, we went back in for cake (as seen in the post below), ice cream, and our awards and presents. The kids received an award for bringing their favorite stuffed wild animal to show and "decorate" for our party. Then we reversed the normal present thing, and Luke gave the kids presents instead. Fun times were had by all.

Shesh, everyone is growing up and poping out babies and stuff. It's crazy how time flies! Your family appears to be growing and everyone's looking GREAT. Hope you don't mind but we added a link to your blog from our site...just in case anyone happens along.
Do your folks still live out this direction? We need to snag a few hours with you next time you're in town.
