Jory's 8th Birthday Party!!!!!!

So, Mr. Jory turned 8 on June 16th and as usual, we had a blowout party at the pool!!!!!!!!!!!!!


As we arrived at the Bremen Pool, there were ugly black clouds rolling in, so the excited guests had to wait 10 or so minutes before actually getting in the pool!

*Note: I intentionally scheduled his party one week later this year because every year we have his party on the weekend of his actual birthday, it's always a bit chilly for swimming. This year, the week of Jory's party would have been a PERFECT day for a pool party! Grrrrrr on mother nature sometimes! ;)

But once the lifeguards gave the go ahead.....they all dove in!!!!!!!!

Jory was the first to get in!!!!!


Then the other boys followed.....






The older boys were more excited than the youngsters....



And some chose to stick with the baby pool....





And then, as luck would have it......the rain came and pushed us to move the party to the house!




So, we did the cake.......




Then gifts....


Then came time for his sleepover......these 4 boys stayed up until the WEE hours of the night! I went to bed at midnight and they were still up wrestling and giggling......and what memories that brought to mind....right, Megan?




And that's a wrap on the 8th birthday of Mr. Jory George! Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate with us! It was a blast!
