Happy Birthday Ethan!

Yesterday was party day around here! Many a 6 year old descended upon us and we had a good wet time! We had up two slip and slides, and the little pool, and let them squirt the hose and do water balloons, lots of water! Gordon ran the bucket brigade and filled the pool with lots of hot water to take the cold edge off of the water, but it was still a little chilly. The kids were all laying out on their towels and wouldn't get up and do any of the water stuff until Gordon appeared in his swimsuit and started the slip and slide races. Then when they figured out it wasn't that cold in they went and they had a great time. Ethan shivered almost the whole time, but still seemed to have a great time!

After water fun, we dried them all off and headed into the house to make some fun hats (that was a hit) open presents, and then have some delicious "American Cake." Ethan had a wonderful party and all seemed to be a success.

While we were cleaning up and draining the pool, Chandler woke up and came out to help. He got SOAKED and eventually we stripped him down and in he went too. He was in water heaven! We took him out when he started shivering and then into a warm bath to warm him up. What a fun, wet day! Happy Birthday Ethan!
