It's Party Time!!!

Today was Acadia's birthday party and we had a BLAST!  Everyone met up at the community center and we went swimming for about an hour.  Cadi and her friends had lots of fun floating down the lazy river and going down the water slide.  This was also Rori's first time to the pool (Yes, I reliaze that since it took me TWO YEARS to get her to the pool, that makes me a horrible mother. lol) and she LOVED it!  Though, that's no surprise; she absolutely loves the water.  Cadi's friends all took turns helping Rori, it was very cute!  Ryan was the "designated father" and stayed in the pool with the kiddos (mostly making sure Rori was safe) while I tried to take as many pictures as I could. ;)

*Note to self: Next time check the setting on the camera, I think the normal setting would have been best.*  I'm sorry the pics are a little grainy.  Really, I'm very sorry because I would have prefered them turn out a little better! lol  But they are still decent. :)













Here's quick video of Rori in the pool:



After swimming for an hour, we all dried off, changed, and after many, many minutes (it took so much longer than I expected to get a dozen little girls - including Rori- out and changed), finally made our way to our party room.  There we had cake, soda, and opened presents.  :D















*Plug for anyone who lives around here:  You know this community center - it's a FANTASTIC place to have a party!  The person I worked with in booking it went way out of his way to make sure we had a great time!  He checked in on us often even though we didn't use their "party package" and therefore we weren't supposed to have a "host/hostess" and he was so helpful and friendly!  I would totally recommend renting their special events room for a party - you don't even need to purchase their party packages (we didn't because we wanted to bring our own cake and that made it very affordable).   We felt like we had excellent service and the whole thing was a lot of fun! :) ... Okay, end of plug. lol*
