1 - He was old enough to have a true, invite friends over, kind of birthday party
2 - We didn't want a ton of kids running around inside of our house (or anyones house for that matter)
3 - It was going to be hot outside
4 - WATER was our answer
We talked to Grandma Greenway (her house is on a well so the water is free) and had a water party. Isaac invited all of the kids from his playgroup and primary class. We also had Isaac's cousins that came to Carlisle for the 4th of July weekend. There was a little kid swimming pool, an older kid swimming pool, a sprinkler and a slip-n-slide. There was also "Fort Greenway" that Grandma and Grandpa have in their back yard.
It was a blast. The kids had a great time getting wet. The weather was warm but not too hot. The parents sat around in camp chairs keeping tabs on their kids but also enjoying some adult conversations. The kids ate a light lunch while Isaac opened his presents and then they had cake. (thanks again to Aunt Tanya and Aunt Amy for their creativeness in decorating the cake). It was a great time.
Enjoy some pictures!!
