We celebrated Ashlyn and Paxton's birthdays...football style! Ashlyn has been asking for a football themed birthday party for months now so when we decided to have a joint party for the 2 we went with a football/cheerleader/Cowboys theme! We rented a pavilion at a really fun park. We grilled out burgers and hot dogs and had cake! The kids had a ball playing on the playground. The splash park was under renovation, but it turned out we didn't need the splash park! About 5 minutes after singing happy birthday and having cake a MASSIVE thunderstorm blew in. The forecast predicted a 30% chance of rain...HA! It had been very windy all day and started getting a little darker, but the storm caught us by surprise. Everyone hunkered down under the pavilion and most managed to stay fairly dry...and then there were others (mostly under the age of 5) who preferred to be wet and had a ball playing in the rain. The storm passed after about 20 minutes and we were able to clean up and head home. It was definitely a memorable party! Thanks to all of our family (for all the help setting up and cleaning up) and to our friends who weathered the storm to celebrate with us! Happy Birthday to our little cheerleader and quaterback! (I have MANY more pictures to post but due to technical difficulties, I will just post what I have and update later as I am able:)
