Gavin's Pool Party

Gavin opted for a pool party this year to celebrate his 10th birthday.  He had been wanting some aviator sunglasses for some time and finally got a pair.  The first time he wore them he told me,
"These glasses look really good on me!"  He wasn't really bragging more like stating a fact.  We waited to have his party till August 5th so that his best bud, Quinn could make it.

The party was at the YMCA's pool.  The kids had fun swimming and horsing around.

Having fun!

All the kids were doing the mediating man pose to go down the slide.

Landon's main concern was consuming as much soda as he possibly could.

He actually fell asleep when I made a quick car trip home after the strap of my swimsuit broke.  Thankfully nothing was exposed.  Amazingly he stayed that way even after I moved him to his stroller. 

We looked at several bakeries for a cake and nothing was really tickling Gavin's fancy.  He finally picked out this Transformers cake because "Landon would like it."  It looked nothing like the cake in the book that we thought we were ordering.  He was right, Landon loves his robots! He has spent a lot of time carrying them around and playing with them.

The swimming seemed to really whet the kids appetites though cause they all ate big pieces of cake!
