calling all mermaids and pirates....

We've made a discovery. Birthday parties are WAY easier if someone else is worrying about the clean-up, the entertainment, and the food. With these things in mind we decided to rent one of the local hotel pools. 13 swimmers, 4 pizzas, 2 liters of soda and one very happy Birthday girl later, we are pretty sure we made the right choice. All the craziness was worth all the smiles...and even the headache that refused to budge despite medication. Cassidy had a wonderful time. We hope all her friends did too. And, we hope the parents benefited from some sleepy little ones that evening. We sure did. Happy Birthday CASSIDY!
