The Theme: Treasure Hunt/Water Slide
The party was on Sunday, August 28th. We had pizza, a treasure hunt, cake & ice cream, presents and swimming. There were 16 kids all together. They all seemed to have a good time.
[Be prepared, there are a ton of pictures to follow]
The whole gang ready to go on a treasure hunt
They found the first treasure and are off with the next clue to find treasure #2.
Searching for treasure #2. It wasn't there by the way. =)
Alex, the super-slueth, found treasure #3
Looking for the 5th and final treasure.
Running frantically to find it.
Finding the box
The treasure
What's in the package??
"A DS!!!!!" - This was screamed so high pitch and loud, all the dogs in the neighborhood started howling. Okay, I was exaggerating on that last part, but needless to say, she was VERY excited. She cried she was so happy. I have a video of it, I just haven't figured how to get videos on here yet...
A tearful, joyful smile - We have been telling her that we couldn't afford one since last year when she started asking...which was true, we couldn't. But we found this one on sale for the lowest price I've ever seen and with the help of grandparents, we were able to get it. She was truly surprised.
