Happy 5th Birthday Brett!!

Brett and his best friend Luke Johnson (the sprinkler park is in the background)

We celebrated Brett's 5th birthday this Saturday at the local sprinkler park.  He invited his two best friends from the gym and a neighborhood family with 5 children which worked out well because they also have kids both Chad and David's age.  In fact my kids have spent a lot of time with this family during the summer vacation going back and forth from our house to theirs.  They spend hours upstairs in the playroom building legos.

At 9 am on Saturday I wondered if we'd have to cancel Brett's party because of the torrential downpour ripping through Dallas.  His party was scheduled to start at noon and (literally) around 11 am the heavens parted and it was sunny and blue skies for the rest of the day.  So we got lucky.

I love this particular park because the water activities are right next to the play structures.  So the kids had a blast running back and forth between the sprinklers and the swings.  I grilled hot dogs at home and brought them to the park for lunch.  And of course we had cake.  Brett has pointed out a particular cake at Costco each time we went for the past couple of months.  After spending hours on Chad's snake cake I was only too happy to oblige and let Costco do the work!
