These are a few pics from the pool party for the O’banions daughters. It was by far the most fun I have ever had a a kids birthday party. I have to admit that I am not sure that Cliff and I were setting the best examples, but we sure did have fun. At this point I think I want a blow up slide for my next birthday!
Ballston Spa is a neat little town. Since it is a rather quaint little town they are usually doing something to always get all the folks together to have a good time, most of the time for free.. Hey with 5 kids cheap is a good thing.. hahaha They had magic shows, bouncy houses, snakes and creatures of the sorts, face painting, race cars you could sit in and all kids of neat exibits you could go see. We met up with friends for a bit and all hung out. The kiddos thought the snakes were awesome, well almost all the kids.. Bridget and Brinley were not thrilled to see the slithering and slimy creatures. Mason and Brittney were all into and Braiden came around a little later. Thats def one the kiddos can put into the books of thing most people have not or will not do….
Strawberry picking is so much fun!!! Bowman’s Orchard is where we went and we got to ride on a tractor to take us to the fields. Each kiddo had their own little bucket they could put their own strawberries in. They were tickled to be able to do this. It was something none of us had ever done before. A must do for next year.
The big girls were at school so Rob and i decided to take the little ones to Friendly’s to go get ice cream. We had a work get together at a park in Schenectady so the boys played. Our good friends Matt and Becky have a awesome pool and one day when the men folk were at work, all the kiddos went over there and made great use of there pool.
Yet another outing into Sanders Preserve in order to obtain all of the caches placed in the Preserve. We got what we could but still have more to go!
