Party for our cute 7-year-old

Lindsey invited 9 friends to her birthday party, but only 7 were able to attend.  Good thing, because watching 7 little 7-year-olds, plus the rest of my kids, at a waterpark was a bit stressful!  I had underestimated my ability to chase all the children in all the directions they wanted to go.  Luckily, one of the other moms came along, Ryan was able to get off work early, and I assigned Brevan and Will Napier to be my helpers.  The party was a huge success and I think all the girls had a great time!  There were no tears all night, which is a good sign with these emotional little princesses!

Since school got out early last Friday, we started the party at 3:00 with present opening and treats at our house.  I took a picture of Lindsey with each of her friend's with the present they gave her.  I always like to include a picture in the thank you note I have my kids write for each friend.

 She didn't quite get all those huge candles blown out.  Guess her wish won't come true!

 After cake and ice cream, we loaded all the kids into the van and truck and headed out to Coco Keys, an indoor waterpark similar to Great Wolf Lodge.  We also picked up another of Lindsey's friends, Emily Kabel, along the way.  All the girls (minus London, who had to leave early), just before heading in to the waterpark.

 I didn't take many pictures while in the waterpark, since I was super busy making sure no one was drowning. 

 After spending many hours at the waterpark, we headed back to our house for pizza, soda, and more treats.  The party ended about 9:00 p.m., and I'm sure all the kids slept very well that night!
