While Nate's birthday isn't for a couple of weeks, the challenges of a birthday slated for the day after thanksgiving necessitate some creative planning. Compound that with a class full of kids and a week off of school, we moved it up a few weeks so Nate could have a big party with all his friends. We booked it at the Roseville aquatic center's indoor pool. We had about 22 kids and associated adults. It worked out amazing. We had the full use of the pools as a private swim party. Kids had a great time and Nate was exhausted by the time it all ended.
 |
| We brought in sandwiches and fruit for the adults, cake, ice cream and pizza for the kids. |
 |
| All the kids jumped in the pool, some with the help of a life vest. Many hung out by the steps here. |
 |
| Others took terms jumping into the pool |
 |
| O rin some cases falling in the pool? Looks sort of like a reverse Nestea plunge. |
 |
| Rudy spent much of the party looking for Nate |
 |
| Nene tried not to drown. As the only adult in the water, he got lot's of love from the kids. I can only speculate how difficult it is to be a buoy. |
 |
| Erik didn't swim, but had plenty of company as Barbara and the Green's kept him entertained. |

| Jakob and Logan enjoying the pizza and fruit. |
 |
| Rudy have some soda, ready for the cake! |
 |
| While most of the kids were from Kindergarten, the neighborhood or adventure club, one of his old pre-school classmates made the trek. If you recall,Angela and Nate were peas in a pod. At the Pre-K graduation they both claimed the other as best friends. Angela is going to be a bird when she grows up. Nate spent most of the party with Angela and Logan. |
 |
| Happy Birthday Nate from all your friends! |
 |
The funny part here, is this is the 2nd time he blew out the candles as he started blowing before we finished singing.
We got them all re-lit before everyone finished singing. |
