No problem for these kids! Ben started sliding around 2pm, kept right on sliding when the kids starting coming around 4pm, was forced to pause for pizza and cake, and finally got off when it was completely dark outside and we made him go to bed.
Alex preferred to mingle and enjoy all of the other activities like water balloons, the slip and slide, and the wet trampoline.
This guy was so happy! He even loved his hideous zombie birthday cake, but hey, when a kid wants a zombie cake, the cookie company makes it.
It was a great group of 18 kids - neighbors, school friends, and baseball friends.
We wrapped things up with a pinata out front and Alex made sure the kids knew what to do.
Time for candy!
Everyone got a turn and then the mad scramble started. I was so, so thankful that the weather was great and it started raining just a few minutes after we finished with the pinata. It had been a stormy week and I was so nervous about lightning ruining the party. A little rain was no problem at all!
Alex was so excited his friend Gillean was able to come :)
While a lot of the kids (and parents, too!) got back on the slide, Alex opened his gifts and read his new Angry Birds comic book cover to cover. Never know what this one's gonna do!
We enjoyed the slide for a couple more hours with some of the neighbors. The kids could climb halfway up but it was impossible for the grownups.
His hands were hurting from the handles to climb up, so he was happy to use mittens!

Just a few days later, Alex got a makeover with a summer haircut and a missing tooth. I'm beginning to believe he's really about to turn 7!
