This was the party that was moved from last weekend due to rain. Well, it rained again all day yesterday just like it has been for a solid week....
The original invitation stated that the party would be at a neighborhood play ground and would have a bounce house. When I got the voicemail that the party was postponed for a week the mom, Christy, also mentioned that the location of the party would be at their apartment instead of the park. So, in my head, that meant an INDOOR party! I was wrong! Most of the party was held outside! The food was inside.
Their yard was a muddy, swampy pit. Lilly and I both ruined our shoes. They did have the bounce house. Rain was soaking through the roof of it and the entire thing looked slimy and wet. In fact, when any kid emerged from the exit, he would literally slip off of it and onto the concrete sidewalk below! A few kids ended up crying because they would land in an akward position. Not to mention that all the kid's clothes were wet too.
Thankfully Lilly didn't want to go in the bounce house...maybe because all the kids at the party were boys! Not a single little girl from her class showed up. There was an 11-yr old girl (Colin's sister), an 18-month old, and another girl that looked slightly older/larger than Lilly, but she was a neighbor and not a girl from Lilly's class.
On the ride home Lilly told me she had fun, but I think she was just excited that she got a goodie bag to bring home to share with Sophia.
