Look Who's Eight !

The years go quickly by certainly true when birthdays come around. 

Our oldest granddaughter celebrated her 8th birthday in July. The party was held this past weekend and attended by family, neighbors and school friends.

Here's some of granddaughter's earlier celebrations — top center photo was her first 🎂.

Two weekends ago both grandsand their mom, visited us in NH for an overnight stay. There's an indoor pool in our apartment building that was a big hit. Both grandkids used it during their visit.
Granddaughter's party also featured a water event which her young party guests thoroughly enjoyed, the slip 'n slide. The older party goers, including ourselves, watched the fun.
Of course, no birthday party would be complete without a cake. It was an ice cream cake, perfect for a warm afternoon with no leftovers.
After the cake, it was time for presents. There was no shortage of gifts or friends to help, who doesn't like seeing gifts.
Young birthday guests took swings to break open the unicorn piñata, which was filled with candy treats. It took quite a few swings to break open; granddaughter took the first and last ones.

Beautiful girl! What a fun party. We did a water slide here for one of the Grands. Even some of the adults did it....but not the older and wiser adults though ;-)
Have a great day!

They really have lots of fun on their birthdays. It was nice you were able to have overnight company and that they liked the pool.
