The Jones Girls

The next morning, Friday, our friends, Corrie and her kiddos, and Silvia and her kiddos came over for a water slide play date.

It also happened to be Corrie’s girl, Madeline, 5th birthday that day.  So we celebrated and had lunch which were corn dogs with fishie crackers followed by cupcakes.  The kids got to decorate their own cupcakes – putting on their own frosting and sprinkles.    We put a candle on Madeline’s cake and all sang happy birthday to her.

Mindy made a really neat birthday banner for Madeline and we had it hung in the house for her.  It made Madeline so excited.    Then all 5 girls colored and made pretty birthday cards for Madeline and we gave her $5 for her birthday present.   Madeline was going to Disneyland that afternoon and we wanted Madeline to buy something special for herself at Disneyland.

All of the kids had a blast on the water slide.  There was an incident when there were too many kids going up the water slide and it began to tumble a bit.    Us moms came to the rescue and got all of the kids out and eeryone was safe and playing on the water slide again.  It was a funny sight, seeing all of the kids piled on top of each other, like a seen out of Finding Nemo when all of the fish were stuck in the net and couldn’t get out.

Waht a great day to beat the heat.
