I decided to host the party this year at Southwood Park, which is a park just down the street from us and they have a brand new playground. It was fun to do something different. Jon did a ton of the work for me - he smoked pork for pulled pork sandwiches and I asked him to figure out a homemade slip-n-slide. He did it all!
The weather was a little overcast that night, which was perfect for the adults, but a little cold for the kids trying to do the slide. But, that didn't seem to stop them and I think they had a great time.
We LOVED that the Rasmussen's were in town as they were making their move to California (more on that in the next post). We visited with them at our house for a little bit before dinner and then all headed over to the park.
We just love all of our friends! They have the greatest kids and it's been so fun to watch families grow and kids grow up. My sister, Becky, and her family was in town and my parents were back, so they all came too. They know most of our friends really well too, so that makes for double the fun!
As the kids came down the slide, I tried to get a picture of most of them. I know I missed several, but it's fun to see their cute faces (I'm so sorry if I get someone's name wrong - let me know!)
Lindsey - this crazy girl, Jack & Ethan Rasmussen posed for me each time they came down.
