If you look no farther..... this collage shows it all.... fun, games, cake!That's what you get at an all boy birthday party... besides tired parents.
Reid had the activities all planned out weeks in advance....
First there were water balloons... don't they look serious?(thanks to Daddy who spent at least an hour filling balloons....)
then there was a huge squirt gun fight...
then many trips down the water slide...
good thing it was a warm day...
even water slide races!
Then it was time to dry off and get warm and eat snacks and do "girl dances"(sorry Reid, you will probably kill me for this one in a few years.... but this photo is priceless...)
This photo.... I love the story it tells.... boys, boys, and more boys(with one little girl watching in wonder...)
(and then getting into the fun herself...)
Then after free time and supper, it was time for cake.Reid requested a flag cake.... actually he had decided what cake he wanted months ago.
He loves flags and all things patriotic.
Right before bed... we did a few fireworks left over from the 4th..then 6 boys tried to sleep out in a tent... it didn't work so well, but we tried.
Reid said, "Thanks Mom, for an awesome birthday party!"
(And I said, "Thanks Reid, for planning your party!")

Oh, my...what can I say? You have a most beautiful family. The warmth and love just radiates from each photo. A beautiful but simple party. So much fun and love. Thank you for sharing this special day.
Happy birthday to Reid! He's quite the party planner.
Water balloon fight is on our summer list. Can I pay your husband to fill mine for us?
My kids have always been jealous of kids with summer birthdays for exactly the reasons pictures here! Boys and water balloons - awesome shot. Looks like an exhausting, grand time!
Happy birthday to Reid!
Happy Birthday to your Reid!!! (for it deserves 3 exclamation points at least.)
Don't you LOVE LOVE LOVE summer birthdays? My boys and I were all born in the good 'ole summertime. The boys are 2 years 2 weeks apart.
Reid's party looks FABULOUS!
Looks like Reid had a great party. Is that Molly I see in one of the pictures? Glad to see she made it home safely.
