Vanessa's 5.5 Year Birthday Party



Vanessa had her birthday exactly 6 months form her real birthday. We were in the process of selling the house and so having a party was something we decided to put off until we got settled into the new house. We had a lot of fun renting ponies and going on a scavenger hunt around the yard. The kids had clues and had to collect the stickers at different places. The ponies were great but the tadpoles in the pond stole the show. We had a hard time pulling the kids out of the pond to ride the ponies after their initial rides. They eventually rode the ponies again. Jigs had to be tied up and barked a lot because of the strange animals in the yard that I am sure he would have loved to play with. He eventually got to meet them and behaved when all the kids went home. Vanessa wanted a swamp cake so I did my best. It was interesting to say the least. It was nice celebrating a birthday in the summer instead of winter. It was great to be able to use the yard. we even invited some of the new neighbors that we have met already. I hope to get a few more pictures from Grandma and Grandpa. I was a little busy at the party.
