This year we decided to have his "friend" party in the summer. We knew it would be a water party and I decided it would be a surprise water party......fun, fun, fun!
So today was the day. I thought maybe Cole was onto us, because he knew it was supposed to be in July and we're nearing the end, but I was able to put him off. And he was surprised. One disadvantage of having a party in the summer, for us (this is our first party in the summer) is not having a connection with the kids at school. We did have two of Cole's friends from church come, and it turned out great.
They had water gun/balloon wars, a horseshoe type game, then I found (what turned out be a huge hit at play group and Cole's party) in Family fun Magazine an erector type set where you use pvc pipe and joints and connect with the waterhose and build whatever with water coming out. Turns out it's for all ages as the pics will show.
Oh and the cake......some may say it was underdone....some may say it was overdone....some may say it was just plain heavenly (I'll go with those)! I don't know if I'll do it again, but it was great for a son who is continually begging for some KK and strawberries. Happy Surprise July Bday Cole! I loved tucking you in tonight and seeing the love and thank you in your eyes, so sweet! Can't wait to surprise you again !!!!!
Cole being surprised, blurry, but noteworthy.
