Birthday Party for a Friend

This afternoon we went to a party of a little girl who we've known since birth. When Hannah and Katie were babies, their mommas use to pack the strollers and spend the day at Disneyland, in the good old days of the parks literally being deserted in off peak seasons, when we were practically the only ones walking down Main Street. Oh, those were the days. Katie had a Hawaiian Luau for her party theme and it was a lot of fun, in addition to their built in pool, they had a giant water slide for the day out on the front yard. However, the first thing that my girls went for was the beautiful wooden play structure. Every time we go to Costco, the girls eye that play struture and express their desires for one in their own backyard. We did our research and one won't fit in our backyard. However, we have been talking about designing our own and building it ourselves.Hannah had so much fun, it was hard to get her to leave. But she'd been playing all afternoon and it was hot and she did have school the next morning. She tired and pretty worn out when she went to bed.
