We had her official birthday party yesterday (Sun. 6/29) at the Doc Griffin Spray Park in Jacksonville. Except for the smoke lingering in the valley from the CA fires, it was a perfect day. Nice and hot! We chose to have her party at the J'ville waterpark because it's geared more toward smaller kids. At all the other waterparks around Medford and Ashland are a death sentence for any kids under the age of 6. Too many big and rude kids that have no problem mowing down the little kids. But the J'ville park is awesome...small and not too many people. Morgan wasn't much interested in going into the water at first (not a surprise). She just assume play on the nearby playground. But after we ate some lunch, opened gifts, and sang 'Happy Birthday', AND some coaxing from Dad (and Shelby), she actually tested the waters. She had a blast! Apparently the thing to do was to stick your tongue out and inch closer and closer to a fountain until it sprayed the kids right up the nose. LOL. The other "cool" thing was to play ring-around-the-rosie around one particular fountain.
We had a good turn out. Morgan's best friend Shelby came to the party, as well as Jake, Mason and Ella, John and Skyler, Gracie and Gage, and Makenna and Marissa. Of course I brought way too much food and slaved way too hard the day before over making the cupcakes that melted in the heat, but nobody except myself seemed to care. Morgan got lots of great girlie gifts - a Little Mermaid doll, a "laptop", a couple baby dolls with a stroller and bathtub, a few My Little Pony's, Dora doll, a princess crown, and a few other things that I can't remember. Needless to say, she's spoiled rotten, and she's loving every minute of it!
Here's a few pictures from the event. There's more uploaded to the photo albums, in case anyone is interested:
