Saturday, we backed up and headed to a local water park (Cedar Park, Bownmanville, On). It a little treasure hidden in the woods!
They have 3 separate water areas and a dry area to play in. My parents joined us, as did my best friend, her hubby and munchkins!
6 kids, 6 adults, 2 coolers full of food!
Yes I'm a bad blogger/momma and instead of capturing the day/weekend on film, I spent it in the moment, enjoying it (sorry)
Saturday night, the boys and I camped in my parents backyard! We never made it "camping" this year, so this was the next best thing. It was the night before the Super moon and the sky was so bright all night we didn't even need flashlights.
Sunday, was the offical party!
An afternoon of good old fashion fun, pool, tie dying and lots of laughts!
There was 12 kids and 8 adults, all the kids were once again amazing well behaved, new friends were made!
It's so much fun when us mommy friends can actually get together with all our kiddos and they all get along! It's amazing to see how quick then
they get into little groups and just "entertain" themself. We could have honestly just sat in the shade all day and the kids would have been content playing.
My dad and I set up badminton, soccer, woofall ball, some other ball toss game and a game that I can never remember the name off (it's a plastic football type thing on 2 ropes, each player holds a set of handles and pulls them apart sending the ball flying down to the other player)
We also did tye dye shirts. I'm not sure who had more fun??? I handed out shirts, put all the elastics on the table and set GO FOR IT! The kids ranged from 12-2, the little ones told the parents exactly where they wanted their put and loved ordering them around!!!
I was shocked how many of us had never done this before (always say were going to but then we think of the mess and say ya maybe not!)
Myself and besties hubby coloured the shirt in the colour and spot the child picked. Again they loved the fact it was all their decisions. Then we tied them in bags and hung them to dye!
We are food, and more food and cupcakes.
The kids opened their gifts ( to hugh excitement) and then it was back to the pool!
As the party was winding down, we unwrapped the shirts and took pictures of each one (as soon as I get copies I will share) they all turned out amazing! Each child loved how theirs turned out.
Then came the crap part of the weekend, it was time to pack up and come home. Darn work always seems to get in the way!
Today was a post in it's self, so I will post it later!!!
I'm again so thankful and blessed to have the amazing people we do in our lives! I wouldn't trade any of them for the world!
