Party Like It's 2013

We celebrated Elijah's 2nd birthday about a week late, due to our little SoCal adventure.  I had found out about a local park called Children's Wonderland a few months ago and Joanie and I had taken the kids there to see what it was all about.  It was a pretty neat park; all enclosed, 5-7 different area's each with a theme from Alice's Teapot, to Fire Engines to Train Stations. Our boys had such a good time there, that I decided to book Elijah's party there.
It was a beautiful day in April, and as you know we don't usually get super nice or hot weather in April up here.  I had listened to the forecast and heard it was going to be in the 80's so I decided to get a little kiddie pool for the party, so the kids could have a good time playing in the water and stay cool at the same time.
The party went off without a hitch!  Elijah had such a good time, and so did the other kids.  I think the pool was everyone's favorite though.  One of our niece's (well...2nd cousin really, but who's keeping track?) Amara, who is 3, even cried when we took the pool down.
Here are some pictures from Elijah's big day!
