My boy turns 9

Each birthday is a great milestone.  This year Tyler decided to celebrate his 9th birthday by having a big back yard party.  We gave him a budget and decided on what was most important to him...he wanted lots of friends.  Knowing that he could only do that with a home party he decided on a large water party complete with 3D shark slip n slide, face painting (done by his talented cousin), and water guns and balloons galore!  He invited 29 kids and luckily only 12 came (I'm not completely crazy, we know from past experience that this week in the summer a lot of people are on vacation).

It was 2 hours of pure chaos and Tyler LOVED every minute of it.  Everyone was wet by the time the party was over, but no one went home bored. 

What can I say...Tyler puts on a great party!!
