The Aloho Party...Hannah gets the American Girl Magazine. She loves this magazine. Anyway, a month or so ago they had this "Island Party" idea. Hannah has been planning and talking about it ever since. At first, I was like...."yeah that would be fun????...." But it became apparent that I'd have to squash her inner party planning diva, or get a move on it. Really, I did nothing. I took her to Target to buy some water balloons and a couple of other things. But, she did it all...I loved watching her have so much fun with some of her new friends. 
They made mini pizzas for dinner. 
She had one party game lined up after the other. Impressive!! :)
A reason to love a small"ish" town...on Saturday we went to the Camas Days Festival. Right before the parade was supposed to start, this man came out on his scooter, and started setting up this cannon. Eventually, he was ready to light the thing, but first he asked for a volunteer. Hunter's hand shot up and he was the dude that pulled the trigger thingee to "ignite" the cannon to start the parade. It was really loud!! We were literally sitting RIGHT in front of it.
Here we are waiting for the parade to start. I went down to the Camas Farmer's Market for a minute (or 20) while we waited, and brought back some treats.
Hayden is my fair skinned boy. I have to COVER this kiddo with sunscreen so he doesn't get a burn. If I don't...he will burn where I don't. Here he is chillin' out in the stroller. It made me laugh at how big he looked in that thing.

What a fun party and you didn't even have to do much! Yeah! I love the parade that our small town puts on every year. It is easy to get a good seat and the kids love watching the floats go by (Oh yeah! and all the candy they throw out!)
Thanks for the pictures, even though you have half a continent away, I felt like I was there for party and parade. I think I'll put Hannah in charge of my next party and Hunter in charge of my next cannon.
Is Hannah for hire? She can come help me with Connor's partay. I love Hope's ponytail too, did she have that much hair when I just saw her???
Hannah would love to come and plan Connor's party. She'd do a good job too ;) Those are piggie tails. Hard to tell from the picture, it seems her hair has just sort of grown in! She still has a mullet though. There was lots of candy at the parade.
I love it that you just let her go for it -- she'll always remember that. And it looks like it was tons of fun.
Fun in Camas. The Aloha party looks like a success. I like the way Hannah plans and gets things done. Cute pictures of all the kids at the parade. Adorable pictures.
