Splashing @ Lyndon's 9th Birthday Bash

Lyndon has wanted to have a water birthday party for a few years.  Usually with his birthday at the beginning of September it starts to cool off in the evenings and usually we even get a rain on his birthday weekend.  If we were going to pull off a water party we needed to do it in August.  We had a busy week preparing for his party during the first week of school!!!

His cake turned out fabulous!  I'm always scared we won't have enough cake and then we usually have leftovers.

With it being so hot I had 3 tubs full of drinks.  The poor adults were hot watching the kids play in the water.

Water guns were our party favors.

The kids had fun in the swimming pool.....

Tree fort & kiddie pool.....

& on the Big Kahuna!

I think the parents had fun visiting-at least I hope they did.

The water was splished and splashed all night!  Just the way Lyndon hoped it would be.

Lyndon picked where to place the 9 candles!

I hope everyone had a great time.  I know that Lyndon did, and was very excited.

Our LIttle Entrepreneur

Lyndon is very creative and made a desk out of the landscape cover for his 'was' train, but 'now' Lego table.  He sold picture that he drew and colored as well as ice cold water to Cody and I.  He had tax, receipts, & a tip can.

Signs leading to the restroom.

Yikes, this is the wrong way for shoppers!

Lyndon carried his business over to The Tractor Shop where he created a snack cart.  He used his $ to buy snacks at the DG and then sold his snacks to the vulnerable HOT employees.  Lyndon watched the clock for several days and made his rounds.

He and a friend even set up a snack service at his house.  Lyndon had been saving the $ for Lego roads. The first day Memere took Lyndon to DG to buy snacks he was VERY concerned about using his $ for fear his items wouldn't sell and he would be out the $.  Of course he sold out daily!  It was a great life lesson in business.
