Once we got past that hurdle, the party planning went very smoothly. Questioning revealed that D's idea of a perfect day consisted of a series of outdoor adventures, and with our brains still buzzing with Olympic excitement (have you heard our outgoing phone message lately?), the Heptathalon of Happiness was born.
Seven kids. Seven events. Seven winners. The events were as follows:
1) Kid Drop Off
2) Frisbee Fling
3) Woods Wander
4) Free Swim
5) Cake Eating
6) Cake Eating, part II
7) Ice Cream, possibly
And here's how it all turned out:
Free Swim
Walking Towards Cake
Post-Pool Photo Opp
Events 5-7
Photographic response to the all-important question:
"Hey, D, how was your party?"
(Many thanks to the wonderful friends
who helped make D's special day truly special.
He was especially grateful that several of you
chose to help support the Dian Fossey fund
instead of buying a "stuff" present.
Although the stuff presents were also a big hit!
We'll be working on those thank you notes,
but hope that this is fun in the meantime...)
