Pool Party

For Cameron's party we decided to have it at a local hotel(that had a fire call 3 days before for which was thankfully just a heater unit on the 2nd floor!) for all the kids to be able to enjoy some swimming.  And running around.  Why does it seem that whenever kids get into a hotel they feel the need to RUN everywhere!  My side of the family(all boys!) came down with some icky germs so were not able to join the festivities ;(  

Before supper we(well, the kids mostly) enjoyed some pool and hot tub time.  It really was rather chilly but the kids didn't seem to mind!

This little mas was quite the character with his goggles.  He was content walking back and forth between the pool and hot tub and only venturing in on the pool steps, and I was happy to follow.  Like I said, it was chilly!

Birthday boy doing some moves.  

And Jill and Jodi if you are reading this, we need to do swimming lessons again.  Cameron jumped in the deep and got a little panicky!  After he made it to the shallow he commented on how he forgot his swimming lessons..ha!)

As with any party mixed with presents and kids(9 of them), gift time can get to be a little chaotic!  Cameron scored some very cool lego sets which he is very into at the moment and really are fun to do together!

After a yummy BBQ, salad, chips, dip, jello and veggie supper it was time for cake!  My in-laws make fun cakes for the kids and did such a great job with tackling legos! 

I on the other hand did some mad baking skills with brownies and frosting(which I did add Oreos to the frosting and tried to make a 6 with the leftovers which looking at it now is not so much a 6, is it?!)

Make a wish!

After all that excitement it was time to hit the pool one more time.  We were able to snag him away for a quick picture!
