ethan's birthday party

Last weekend we celebrated Ethan's birthday party at Tower Grove Park! The park has a great splash pad and playground that Ethan loves and he and his friends had a blast in the 90 degree heat playing in the water. Unfortunately we are still learning the art of parenting two kids and so while I was holding Eloise in the shade, Pete ran up to the splash pad with our very excited Ethan and didn't bring the camera so we don't have any splash pad pics. Alas, here are a few other pictures from his party.

Resting from their play time and getting ready to eat.

Sweet Eloise, all dressed up in her pretty party skirt, getting some snuggle time with Grandma Denise.

 Singing happy birthday to our birthday boy!

 Enjoying his cupcake treat! For some reason he had me feed him the whole thing!

 By far one of his favorite gifts was this lawn mower. He went around and around and around the concession building that was there, with a few friends joining in the fun.

 Once we got home we were all pretty tired but we attempted to take a couple family shots.

 All in all a very happy day!
