Bri's Birthday!

With this post - I should be caught up! (Hopefully!)

We had Bri's birthday at the park again this year - at her instance. We loaded up the grill Karl and I affectionately call the "first community property" - which is a seriously huge bear - and headed to the park, water balloons, kites, badminton sets, and enough food to feed a small army in tow.



When all our guests arrived (which were many more then we expected - which was great!) the madness began. Karl and my dad grilled while the kids flew kites and played at the park. After we all ate, presents were opened. I was definitely impressed at how patient all the munchkins were!





After presents - the games began. Water balloons were hurled, water guns juiced, massive amounts of screams let out, adults and kids alike went at it....







and finally - the paramedics and E.M.T's arrive. My dad went to jump a gate - and not so gracefully reverse belly flopped onto the ground. He was taken to the E.R.






In an effort to keep the kids out of the way - cake was served and everyone played some more. Despite the minor drama - it was a great party and I think everyone (except perhaps my dad) had a blast!
