The party was a little last-minute as we decided to go backpacking the couple days right before the party. So the prep work all took place on the afternoon of July 4, in about 4 hours. It all came together pretty well (except that I didn't have any candles for the cake), so I learned I can pull a party together in practically no time! Let's not do that again, though....
July = outdoor water party, so to spice it up this year we put a kiddie pool and hose to work to create a water slide for the girls...
(I don't know why, but I'm a fan of the play-by-play pictures.)
We put up a pavilion and had hot dogs for lunch, cupcakes, and lemonade. Several of Ellie's little friends came, including Elli Page, Zoe, Macie, Lily, Corinne, and Ruby. The older girl in the pictures is Ruby, my Mother's Helper for the summer. We have really enjoyed having her come over once or twice a week to play with and watch Ellie!
(I love how they look like they are making snide comments about the other party goers in this one! It cracks me up!)
