Cousin birthday party/sleepover

Harper and Ava with the cakes they decorated for each other, in secret.  The secret only lasted a little while though, they just couldn't stand not seeing what the other one had created.

Jillian, Bridget and Rielee came in late afternoon and the party started with the donut eating game. 

Then they got the water balloons out.  Earlier in the day, Rielee had completely filled the wheelbarrow with balloons, but they kept disappearing...

Ava thought of a new game:  throw water balloons at Papa, the one that comes closest to his head gets to dump a bowl of water over his head.

Several came close, so they all joined in.  This was definitely the most popular game.
They also did the towel toss, water balloon toss, and had a contest to see who could throw the farthest (Rielee).

Inside, they played "stick the tail on the donkey" and the cotton ball game. 

Then we went to Papa Pete's for pizza and more games.

After that it was time for cake and ice cream and presents.
Then back outside to play.

They made a fort to sleep in, watched a movie, read a bit, had an injury-Ava's book somehow landed on Harper's loose tooth, causing it to bleed a little.  Harper was worried her tooth would fall out in the night.  Eventually, everyone was asleep by 10:30 and slept well. 
 
They got up at 7, except Bridget, who slept till 8:30-had breakfast, played awhile, then went swimming.   They got along really well and all agreed it was a fun sleepover.
