...it was a Dolphin Party! Dolphins and swimming... the perfect combination.This year, I made my own artwork for decorations, added the finishing touches to the cupcakes, and even 'helped' by serving Mom and Dad water while they worked on the dolphin cake.
I was certain of what I wanted - friends, sugar, swimming at Nana and D's house, and dolphins. Lots of dolphins. After a Kate-fiasco at the last two birthday parties I had (she was rescued from the bottom of the pool on my 4th birthday and had a nursemaid's elbow at my 5th party), Mom took the safe route and hired lifeguards to watch us swim. Kate did have to be rescued at one point, but only because she was starting to wear out while treading water in a big group... and besides that one rescue, everyone was all smiles!
The party happened in perfect time also... the night after our party was over, autumn blew in with lower temps. One of the many gifts God gave me for my 6th birthday was perfect swimming weather. Yes and Amen!
The best part of the party is that it isn't really over for good... the large blow up dolphins we got for decorations are going to be transformed into costumes so Kate and I can be Winter the Dolphin for Halloween. Oh yes, dolphin mania lives on!
