David & Shaun Turn 3 & 1

Yesterday we held the boys dual Summer Beach Party Spectacular! Since Shaun's birthday was June 10 and David's birthday is August 9th, I decided to do one party somewhere in between! It's hard enough to find free weekends during the summer, let alone TWO!

We hired the Rec Dept to help host our Beach Themed birthday party and had it down the street at the local park. It worked out really well since we don't have the space or the backyard for a summer cookout. Two staff counselors came and set up games, prizes and goodie bags (shovel and pail) and entertained the kids for two hours

We couldn't have asked for a better day. It was a little windy but that breeze offset the heat from the glorious sun (who had been on an extended leave of absence for the month of June). I was just happy that it wasn't humid. I'm pretty sure that no one has forgotten David's first birthday party, with temperatures in the high 90's, and so humid you couldn't even breath.

The best part was seeing all of David and Shaun's friends running around and playing all the games. The parachute was the biggest hit of the day, but they also loved trying to Jump the River, and the Scavenger Hunt for beaded necklaces! We even got to do circle time thanks to Miss Sally!

It was a perfect day, the boys had a blast and we're so thankful for those who came and joined us for some fun in the sun! Here are some pictures of the birthday boys!

Birthday Boy David!
