Time flies when you're turning five

I must say that I do feel very badly that it has been a month since I have written on my blog. But I have been in the throws of childhood merry-making, celebrating my oldest son's fifth birthday! He decided after viewing snippets of old Indiana Jones movies (with his dad...ahem) that he MUST have an "Indiana Jones Waterslide Party". Since none of his friends really knew who Indiana Jones was, they got an Adventure Party including treasure maps to hidden treasures! We had the party at our family farm, and it really was a great time for everyone. They kids got an Adventure Pack when they arrived and got to choose their own treasure map (there were 12 different maps leading to 12 different treasures around the farm). Then they could slip & slide on the "water slide" (aka: a big sheet of plastic), take a boat ride, bob for apples, or generally just go wild and get dirty! It was a day to remember, and our boy had a BLAST! We have been recouping for 2 full weeks now. Anyway, here are some pics below. If you need help with your own party, call me 'cuz I've got party fever! Seeing little kids get happy is a huge thrill, so let me know if I can help you out with your shin-dig, too. I 'd LOVE it!
