Party Time!

 Ethan and Mia wanted to celebrate their 6th birthday at a pool. We decided to rent a room at a local hotel with a cool kid pool. The kids had a blast swimming.

 Ethan was getting pretty good at walking across the floatie things. That's him sitting on the wood log. He liked to hang from the rope and then start swinging back and forth. He'd then knock every single kid off the floatie things that happened to be hanging onto the rope. It was pretty funny.

 Both sets of grandparents came along with Steve & Sarah, Uncle Bernie, and Billy and Rachel.

 The kids were brave and went down the water slide. Mike and Steve were at the bottom to catch them.

We went to Hy-Vee a few days before their party and I let them pick out their cakes. Ethan wanted a cupcake cake with the Avengers on it. Mia chose a cookie cake with Ariel. I thought they both turned out well. They were happy with their choices.

We ate pizza while the kids were swimming and then went back to the room to open presents. Everyone was so generous. They each got a fishing rod.

They also got some art supplies. They love coloring! 

They were pretty pooped by the end of the night. They all slept really well. We woke up the next morning and went swimming one last time and then headed for home.
