This little girl was the first of R's friends to arrive and they immediately went for the pool with the built-in sprinkler. That was a HUGE hit!
When her next friend arrived it took a little bit of enticing before he jumped in. R kept trying to get him to lay down in the pool with them and he wasn't having any of it!
Then they moved on to the alligator pool, which was by far the kids' favorite. Unfortunately we learned the hard way that you need to tie down inflatable slides to the bottom of the pool BEFORE filling it up, otherwise they float and make it difficult to slide down and impossible to really tie down tightly. Ah well! We ended up taking away one slide and leaving the other out. The kids still had a blast even when the slide fell over half the time. In fact, falling over might've been half the fun.
One of her friends came with her older brother, who was 5.
The arts and craft table was a surprising hit! I was nervous it would be too messy or too boring, but everyone decorated at least one bag and seemed to really enjoy it.
The sand table in all its glory. Of course most of the fun of the sand table consisted of dumping sand in the water. R got so much sand on her that we had to make her change her clothes!
RUS spent most of the party on Grandma's lap. I fed him once and ended up being able to lay him down midway through, so that worked out beautifully.
Just before the pizza came the kids started chowing down on the watermelon. Here's R eating in her cardboard house-- she and a few other friends had already started coloring it in.
