Alden's Pool Party

This was a big year for Alden. Not only did he turn SIX and need TWO hands to show how old he is, but he had the first not-at-home birthday party! The pool is a pretty big part of our life and it's super close, so it only made sense to have it there! An added bonus was that I didn't have to clean my house! Lots of friends and family came and helped us celebrate and I think it's safe to say that everyone had a blast!

Ready to EAT!

PopPop and Al helped get each kid their plate full of food- pizza, watermelon, veggies (with Ranch), a juice box and napkin

After eating, the kids went back to swimming. Lots of fun was had! I took oodles of pictures, but for the sake of space, I chose only a few here....

The diving board was a huge hit!

Adeline loved having so many friends to play with!

The Birthday Boy! He seriously did have fun even if he doesn't look like it....

Alden adored his Swim Team Coaches- and he insisted on inviting them to his party. AND THEY CAME! He was SO excited! They not only came, they came with gifts and swam with him! That just made his day- thank you!

Coach Dillon, Alden, Coach Megan, Adeline, Coach Allie

Alden asked for an ice cream bar instead of cake and ice cream. Easy! Karen had a fantastic idea of pre-scooping the icecream into little cups- which I did and it saved tons of time! Each kid got a cup and we topped it with their choices of whip cream, sprinkles, chocolate chips, crushed oreos, gummy bears, chocolate sauce and even a cherry for the top.
