Poppy's 1st Birthday Party

Poppy's party was today. Zach and the girls spent the morning buying a pool and slip and slides while Lauren stayed home to sew her curtains with the help of Gma Cathy. And Rod filled up a ton of water balloons. The party started around 2 and was a great success. The back yard was decked out with 1 canopy and 1 food tent, plus plenty of chairs for everyone. There was the usual play equipment, plus a kiddie pool and a slip and slide. There was fruit, veggies, cheese, crackers, olives, and chips to eat. Poppy's smash cake was made to look like a bobbling hula girl. She also had a 1/2 sheet cake and 30 cupcakes, plus ice cream. No one went hungry since this was an in-between meal kind of party! All the kids had a blast. The water balloons brought on lots of laughter but all 200 of them were gone in about 3 minutes! Then the kids did a pinata which is always fun. Some of the adults played cornhole or rodeo golf. All in all it was a great party with wonderful friends and family!
