Making a Splash for Emma's 6th Birthday

Cousin Emma's birthday in early June has always been one of the hottest days of the year so we are very thankful that Emma likes to have pool parties for her birthday and that she has a pool in her backyard.  This year she wanted to kick things up a notch and add something different.  She wanted a BEACH!  The girl loves the beach.  She now has a beach house too!  Lucky girl!  Her parents hauled in some sand and set up a cute little sandy beach in their backyard.  It turned out great, and the kids loved it! 

Here are some pictures of our backyard beach fun:
