RELAY RACE!!!

These photos are from the best birthday party Ava has had so far. I separated the kids into two teams (one led by Eric, one led by Brooke), and each team had to complete a list of tasks and have a picture taken of them while doing it.

That was the best party. Every child that came had fun. If I had things my way I'd host that same party every year for every one of my children. I probably had more fun coming up with the inane tasks than the children did actually doing them...and I've had so many more ideas since then.
