We started the party by eating pizza. The kids had more fun laughing and talking, but it was all good. We then opened presents. Enoch got some fun toys including a doodle pad, legos, and a spy kit. Cupcakes were very messy (they always are) and I'm pretty sure that more frosting was eaten than cake, but that's okay. The kids were excited to get to the pool.
We recruited Grandma and Grandpa Randall to help with supervision at the pool. I was constantly counting heads while the kids were in the water. The kids were everywhere and fast. We had a rule that if they crossed the rope into the deeper water they absolutely must have a life jacket on. We spent a lot of time playing on the play structure, going on the lazy river, and really, the kids liked playing on the little kid playground almost more than anything. Hazel and Kate wanted to go on the big slide (brave girls!), but it closed just before we were ready to go, so we skipped it. Everyone had so much fun.
For the party favor, I made hooded towels for all the kids in their favorite color. They were fun to put together and I hope they are something that will be used later on.
We hustled out to the car and turned the heater on full blast. Everyone seemed pretty worn out when we took them home. It was such a fun party! Happy Birthday Enoch and Kate!

Thanks for inviting us to help! It really was a lot of fun! I think the hooded towels are genius. What a great party "favor" (much bigger than a bag of candy and a noise maker!)
i love that party favor. i'll have to copy that.
You are so creative and such a fun mom. Your kids look like they had a blast.
Jimmy had a great time! I was impressed that the towel was his favorite color. What a good planner you are!
The towels were so cute, I love them!! So nice and big! The kids are still talking about the party. Brynnley yesterday asked if she could go to Enoch's swimming party again.
