Happy Day! You know, spring just got here and I know that some of you still may be in the cold,
but I am really looking forward to summer.
Summer is officially birthday party season in our family. Schools out and we are ready to party!
One little boy and three little cousins with birthdays in June, July, and August.
JJ's birthday is in August. That is when it is usually pretty warm around here in the Pacific Northwest, so we try to do a water-related party. Otherwise, these little guys would just wilt. So we have had a water slide and water balloons for fun. And did they have fun!
After some cake and ice cream--a little swing at the piñata is in order.
Then there's the scrabble for all the goodies.
Since they get a little warm after that activity, we come to the water balloon war.
These little guys can have a blast chasing each other around whether they are throwing water balloons or not. But a full blown water balloon fight is just too much little boy fun.
Here's JJ in a pool full of water balloon madness. Just being the birthday boy water balloon king!
After the cake, the play time, and the presents are torn open, it's time to go home. The adults seem ready to go, but not the boys. We give our hugs and kisses goodbye anyway.
These are the sweetest days of summer for these little boys that I look forward to. Hot lazy afternoons. Being with family. Sitting under the big old apple tree, in my lawn chair, watching my little guy splash in the pool.
Summer will be here before we know it. But in the meantime, I will try to stop and smell the cherry blossoms until then.
Are your summers filled with birthdays and lots of family gatherings? Or do you go on a long vacation? Or maybe you do all...lucky you.
