Happy 4th Birthday!

Today’s Flashback Friday brings us back to the girls 4th Birthday Party Celebration!  The theme was “Under the Sea”!  We had a great group of family and friends join us for the celebration.  The kids had fun playing games, eating delicious cake, and snacks!

We had two main games for the party – pin the tail on Willy the Whale and the favorite game for the event, for both the kids and adults, the Goldfish Races!!!  We picked up the goldfish at the pet store the day before the party.  We used a long and flat storage container to put the water in and divided it down the middle with a board.  Two people were given straws to blow on the water to get their fish to swim faster.  The person whose fish to got to the other side first wins!  All the kids got to take a fish home with them at the end of the event (not sure this was the highlight for the parents, but the kids liked taking a fish home with them).
