So, as you could see in prior posts, I had planned all sorts of fun games for our little guests, but once they got playing in the wading pool and the sprinklers, they really didn't want to do anything else :)
I did manage to convince the birthday girl and one of her friends to do the water relay. They had a full bucket of water at one end with cups, spoons, sponges, and other things to use to transport the water to an empty bucket a few yards away. At the end, both participants had the same amount of water in their "finish" buckets and were longingly looking back at the other children who were splashing in the wading pool, so we called it a draw and let them each pick a prize.
We also had our traditional pinata! This year was a fishie!
I also, sadly, attempted to make Eowyn's cake. I don't know why I do this to myself, but I plan something really cool and am always disappointed by the outcome. I thought I did a great job with the "seaweed" and found some pearl colored Sixlets at iParty to use for bubbles, but the octopus ended up not being able to stand the heat and melted down. Lol- it ended up looking like a purple sunshine =P
I'd have to say that the most fun was had with the water wars that the kids (and a few adults) had =) water guns, water balloons, buckets, hoses... Water was flying everywhere! And not one child got upset about getting water in their eyes or getting splashed. It was a great day!
Devious little birthday girl!
