The New Year Party!

Over the LONG Winter break we decided to have a "party" and let the kids invite 1 friend to the Rec Center and spend the day there playing and playing and playing. We started in the ice rink.

Hunter's friend J was nervous on the ice but he only fell one time!!! Harley and her friends were "totally teenage". And Hayden and P were on the ground more than on their skates. Hayden coincidentally always fell on the ice right in front of J...it did not help J to feel any better about the ice.

After ice skating Dave brought pizza and bread sticks for everyone! It was nice and warm!

Then it was off to the the basketball court! What J lacked on the ice he made up for on the court. The boys had fun playing against each other. It is always nice for Hunter to play ball with someone his own age (no offense little brother). Hayden and P had fun playing on the smaller basket too!

After basketball they moved on to the pool. Of course the batteries in my camera died and there are no pictures to show the battles that when on there. Hunter and J had a blast on the slide and the playground. They immediately turned the swimming area into an army field full of enemy soldiers. Hayden had a harder time at the pool, it is always a challenge to share Hunter. But he managed to have fun after he took a good long cry! Harley had fun with her friends, although they were also bombarded by Hayden in the pool, but after we got that mess figured out all seemed good. In the end we all realized that school could not start soon enough! The kids missed their friends and so did I!!!
