My baby's 13th Birthday Party

The girls and the things they do....


Football!!! Invasion of the bathing beauties!


Water balloon toss getting a makeover.








Yummy ice cream cake! Seconds and thirds!







Lookout below---I am falling backwards!










Can you say eeek? Well, here it is ---the party we have been preparing for weeks. Sixteen invites later, on the 29th of August, we celebrated Gretchen's Birthday with fab and flair hawaiian style. Thirteen girls showed up for burgers and dogs, unlimited swimming, water balloon toss and fight, free lance football with 4 boys from the hood, volleyball with beach balls, and yummies galore, with an evening movie outside by the pool by National Treasure. Wow--so much fun to watch and hear. More than 3/4 of these girls were G's buddies from either volleyball or basketball from the middle school. They all got leggy this summer-Gretchen is still waiting to get leggy. here are some fun pics--

That makes me miss our pool in CA
Alas, that is all in the past.
looks like a fun party. I thought it was interesting how many of the girls had braces. It seems to be the "in thing" for 13 year olds!
