It's been a fun summer! (Part 3)

Every summer - the hot, hot summer - we get together with our bestest friends and decide to do something crazy - go somewhere even hotter! For the past 3 summers we have taken our families on a little vacation to Palm Springs (it was about 110 degrees!). This summer we went with some new friends, too, and had such a fun time! We went to a really nice hotel that had 2 water slides, a lazy river, a splash park, and a big pool. We stayed for 3 days and just enjoyed hanging out by the pool and eating out! Every year we go to our favorite Mexican restaurant that we discovered the first time we went, and now we go back there every year. Yum! I didn't take many pictures of our little vacation, but here are a couple of cute ones of all the kids.

The next fun event this summer was Eva's birthday - our little girl turned 4 years old! She decided that she wanted a Little Mermaid party, and what a fun party it turned out to be! We invited all of Eva's Joy School friends for an afternoon get together complete with games, art projects, cupcakes, and dressing up. They all had so much fun playing and partying together!
Happy Birthday to our beautiful girl!

That would be so fun to have a mini vacation with friends!

Perfect girly party that you put together! Eva obviously thought so too judging by her big smile! I love the mermaid (fruit roll-up??)!
