Katie may have turned one in Florida and had a birthday party on the beach, but she had another birthday party at the house yesterday. We invited a few of Katie and Lilly’s friends and they brought their parents along with them. We had an inflatable moon room in the back yard which was a big hit. There is a long story behind the moon room including attempted breaking and entering, but I’ll just leave it to everyone really seemed to enjoy it and I can’t imagine having as much fun without it. We were lucky with the weather and had a good rain-free, albeit a little hot summer evening party. It looked like the kids really enjoyed the moon room and the swing set and the guys enjoyed some horseshoes. Laura made two cakes, one personal sized cake for Katie to destroy and one for everyone else. After the cake, we ate kettle-corn and watched Shrek on the inflatable screen outside as it got dark. The biggest problem with movies outside in the summer is it doesn’t get dark enough until nearly 9:00pm and most of the kids are just worn out by that time and drop like flies. I want to thank everyone for coming and hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
