We were three weeks late, but finally celebrated Caden's birthday last weekend. We rented the indoor pool at the gym and invited Caden's whole class. We had a good turn-out, about 17 kids including ours. Caden had a ball playing and splashing with all of his friends.
I was amazed to see all these six and seven years old kids climb to the top of the high dive and jump off as if it were no big deal. Some of them were truly crazy with their jumps.
This is Sam, Caden's best friend. Sam lives two cul-de-sacs down from us and the kids play together several days a week. I wish we lived a little closer. It's been great for him to have a friend so close.
This is Rachel...love letter Rachel. She's cute, no? The silly sun messed up my picture, but you get the idea of their friendship.
I don't know how the kids managed to stay in the water as long as they did. Last time we swam, the water was like bath water, this time, it was C-O-L-D. You can practically see Jaelyn's teeth chattering in this picture. We swam for an hour, had pizza and cake and then swam for another thirty minutes.
Seventeen kids polished off 5 large Pizza Hut pizzas, half a sheet cake, and a box of mini ice cream sandwiches. These are growing kids.
We brought all the presents home to open. Caden scored on cool new things.
It was a great party. I missed the family trip to Wolfe Lodge that Caden normally chooses over a friend party, but he made some great memories with his friends!
