Makin' a Splash at the Splash Ground

My boys love water...any way they can get it!  Evan received an invitation to a pretty unusual birthday party. He had two sets of boy/girl twins in his preschool class, and they shared the same birthday.  Weird, right?  Their parents decided to save everyone from having to attend two birthday parties in the same week and chose to combine the parties into one big event.  I was so excited for Evan to get to see all his friends again.  We went shopping for four gifts and prepared for the party.  The party was at a local park close to uptown that boasts a water splash ground.  I had been wanting to take Evan for a while so this was a good opportunity.  The party was on Friday afternoon, and since Mommy works close to uptown, Daddy and the kids met her there.  The kids were having a blast between getting wet in the water area, playing in the dirt on the volleyball court (you know kids can't resist sand and dirt), and playing on the playground.

This baby loved the water.  Yes, we just let him crawl around in his diaper.

Sweet baby still prefers crawling.

He loves getting wet from head to toe.

The party was in full swing.

Evan and his friend Alejandro enjoyed running through the water.

He's hard to miss in his bright orange shorts and lime green shoes.

Watching the other boys get dirty.  He's not really a fan of that...must have got that from his mama.

The girls enjoy dressing like Hawaiian girls.

Evan is not convinced by Mommy that he needs to give Ashlee a hug goodbye.

But he finally gave in. 

* So excited that we just got another invitation to a birthday party!  Yay for more parties!
