Memorial Day 2010

We had a PAR-TAY for Memorial Day. It was sheer chaos but a ton of fun. We ended up having 4 families over (I think it ended up being 10 adults and 15 kids under the age of 9 -- mercy)! We had the Cannons, Davis', Moes' and Thompsons over. Of course we did the typical food-eat-play inside then we broke out the water stuff. Who knew a couple hoses could entertain the masses so well. It was pretty hot this afternoon so most of the parent stayed inside while the children loved the water!

Fun double slip-n-slide provided by the Moes family. This was the biggest hit!
I was surprised that even the littler kids enjoyed it. Here is Blake racing Dani. Too cute!
L-R: Riley, Dani, Kaylee, Jake, Tae, Gavin, Aliya, Tony, Blake and Drew. Not pictured are the two babies (Kai and Ady), Hadley, Emma, and Grace.

Oh he is cute ... even with a mis-shapened mohawk!

The other hit of the day is our ghetto swing set with a hose running down the slide. They had a ton of fun sliding down the slide then sliding on the grass. Sorry for all the grass stained knees and hineys.

That was a fun day. You were so great to host everyone, and the water stuff worked out fabulous for the kids.
