Yet Another Birthday Party

We had a fun filled week last week in Iowa.  Each day was filled with food, family, and laughter as we got together with Jason's extended family. Although it was incredibly hot, we enjoyed (okay...sweated it out) a lot of outdoor activities. We ended a busy few days with our final celebration of Madelyn's birthday. 
She was a bit spoiled this year with so many different birthday celebrations and this final one was declared as "The best birthday ever!"  It may have had to do with having almost all of her cousins there, or possibly her first experience with water balloons, or a bounce house all to themselves.

My sister Dawn (due in October) and I decided to try the bounce house.

Relaxing while the kids bounced.

We had a water balloon relay, which was a hit.

Even Kate got in on the action.  What a cutie!

After the relay, it was a water balloon free for all, grown ups included. :)



A few more presents...



And yes...another cake...and candles
