Owen's 3rd birthday party was very special and a lot of fun. We tried to keep it small and focused on his good buddies from school, the neighborhood, and a couple of family friends' kids in his age group. We wanted a simple, low-key event that would give Owen the chance to play and give us a chance to just enjoy the festivities. We had perfect weather and a wonderful morning.
the kids played bean bag toss
practiced with the hoola-hoop and played soccer and catch
they also played "adventure"
in fact, one of our neighbors had to chase Owen down because he started to explore up the big hill on his own and out of sight (thank you Cameron)
the kids played on the playground and found a super fun firetruck to entertain them for awhile
and they took turns launching the "safe" rocket
they gathered for the rocket launch demonstration and chanted a countdown and cheered when the rocket successfully launched high into the sky (3 times!)
they sang happy birthday, ate a picnic lunch, and chowed down on a very weirdly decorated birthday cake... does this look a beach ball to anybody???
the babies even cooperated and performed for the camera
could they be any sweeter?
All in all, we had a great time and will forever remember the smile on the birthday boy's face
we love you Owen
Looks like a GREAT party... but that is NOT a beach ball!! HA!! Oh well... adds to the memories!! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Owen! This party looks super fun - just perfect for a group of three-year-olds. I love the rockets. My brother used to be really into those. The ball looks like a soccer ball to me. What is it supposed to be? Glad you guys had such a special day.
ReplyDeleteThe party looks fabulous! I thought the cake looked like the rocket launch pad :) But based on Owen's face, I'm sure it was delicious :)
ReplyDeleteIs that cake a baseball diamond? Hmmm. Anyway, looks like a fun party. Which park was this at?? Can't believe Owen will be three on Wednesday.
