Under The Sea Birthday Party Fun

Last Saturday we had a birthday party for my daughter.  It was in our backyard and an "Under the Sea" theme.  I didn't put too much effort into the party but it turned out great and everyone seemed to have fun.  Most importantly, our little girl was excited and loved every minute of it and that's all that matters.  We invited a mix of boys and girls.  I wanted this party to be enjoyable by our son too so his friends came too. 

With an "Under The Sea" party in the summer it only seemed appropriate to set up some type of water activities.  We had our little blow up pool, a slip n slide and a sprinkler.  I was worried that this wouldn't be enough for the kids but they all seemed to have fun with it.  For dinner we served pulled pork, hot dogs, homemade fries, fruit, chips, pretzels and drinks.  There was also an Ariel cake.  And speaking of Ariel what's an "Under the Sea" party without Ariel herself.  This was a surprise for my daughter and she was so happy.  It really made her party extra special. 

This was definitively the best party I have thrown so far.  I still can't believe my baby girl has turned 5.  As she says, "That's one whole hand."

She's my sweetheart.  I was happy to throw this very special party for her.
