Party Party!

Spencer had his birthday party last week at our favorite local park. We love it because it has a nice covered area plus sand, water & super cool play structures... not to mention rocks for climbing. What more could a 6 year old boy want?

His party was indeed fun with all his nearest and dearest friends and cousins there... however just before cupcake time Spencer informed me that his back hurt. I felt his head and he was indeed warm. It wasn't until we got home that I realized my poor big boy had a 101 degree fever at his own birthday party!

After the festivities we came home and made snow cones (with the great machine he got for his birthday from dear friends). He ate his snow cone, curled up on the couch and was asleep for the night way prior to 6pm. Poor kid. He still had a blast at his party. Thank you to all who came and to everyone who was able to help!  Here are a few photos of the festivities.

The sand bucket party favors

We put a shovel, gummy snacks and a cold box of juice in each bucket.  I think the buckets were a hit even though some of them got broken.

Who knew rocks were this much fun?

Cool... Legos!
