Peachtree City, Georgia: Gavin's 5 Year Old Wipeout Birthday

Gavin really loves the reality show on ABC called WIPEOUT where contestants run through crazy obstacle courses of water and foam.  So when I was trying to persuade his little birthday heart on anything other than Chuck E. Cheese, he was floored on the idea of Wipeout.  Saved!  We held his party in the front yard and like last year the night before we left on vacation for the big Memorial Day weekend.  We kept the guest list small this year and invited some of his closest 5 year old friends or classmates.  The whole thing was a success and everyone had a blast!

Searching for their numbers in the foam pool.
 
 
Then sliding down in the pool.
 
 
Water Balloons!
 
 
And of course, a slip and slide!  I love Chance's karate kick.
 
 
Thanks Gavin for showing us your food.

Present time!
 
Hugs of gratitude!  I promise this kid sees the sun sometimes and he is much tanner now at the end of the summer.
 
 
 
Devin, Rebecca, Gavin, Chance, Bella, Logan, Nicholas, and Graham.  Logan is apparently a rebel without his party hat.
 
Graham was one of his best friends from church and preschool.  (Graham is also one of the boys pictured in the August Friend with Gavin but more on that later.)
 
Rebecca was a good friend and classmate from this past year of preschool.  She recently moved to Georgia, but Gavin and Rebecca had personalities made for each other.
 
Nicholas and his little sister Bella were good friends from preschool too!  We would have a play group outside of school with them so we saw them often.
 
Devin was another of Gavin's best friends from church and preschool.  (Devin was also the third boy pictured in the August Friend with Gavin but more on that later.)
 
And finally Chance was another good friend from both years of preschool!  These two boys had complimenting personalities as well and would play so well together.

We were blessed to have another great birthday party filled with many great friends and memories!
