June 22, 2009

Today we invited a bunch of friends for our Welcome Summer party!

Hunter and Grace in the pool.

Jeremy and Grace alternated between splashing and complaining about being splashed (they both played an active part on both sides).

Suki with Briar and Hunter at the sand and water table.


So pleased in this pool!

Kate makes a mad dash for the edge of the deck.

Beth watches over Kate, Grace drapes herself over the pool, Jeremy and Suki dash around with buckets of water, Owen, Briar and Hunter are on the right.

Poor Mia had just had one of our friends dump a cup of lemonade on her plate of strawberries -- she wasn't about to give up her flower cupcake quietly to a very interested Kate.

Suki tosses a cup of water on Grace and Hunter.

Prebble and Beth look down on Owen, Briar, Jenny, Jeremy and Suki; Rosemary helps Cassandra in the background

Kate was awesome at climbing up on the picnic table and then climbing back down.

Kate reaches in the water near Grace, Zoe reaches for the biggest duck of all from Briar, Jeremy, Ariella, Hunter and Suki and Owen are all playing happily.






Zoe and Briar run around the sprinkler ball.

Jenny runs over while Briar and Zoe go down the slide.

How happy does my little Suki look to be having "a party where everyone is invited!" She does love playing with the kids.


Briar and Zoe play poolside, Mia thinks about joining Grace in the pool with Kate and Suki standing nearby.

This mischievous group (Ariella, Hunter, Jenny, Jackson and Jeremy) decided to pile sand on the ground by pouring it through the hole intended for the umbrella. You can tell how pleased they are with themselves at the height of their pile!

Cassandra by Suki and Grace.

Kate chuckles at Owen, Cynthia and Mia swing together as Beth looks on, Rosemary's in the background.



Cassandra wants to pour her water from her cup wherever she goes!

I just love Briar and Kate together, what a study in contrasts.

Owen takes a quick rest.


Ethan joins the group on the swing.

Gracie watches Kate during popsicle time. Hunter, Jackson, Jenny and Jeremy jockey for swing space.

Suki and Grace enjoy their first flavor-ice with Briar.








Mia sneaks a quick kiss for Kate.

After naps, we were back out for some more pool time.



Kate really enjoyed the sprinkler ball, Grace and Suki chase each other in the pool

What a fun, exhausting day!
