Runoff

Welcome to the 2nd Annual Spring Runoff Partay…

where you just can’t believe the amount of water in the ditches.

Cuteness is a requirement…

as is the ability to run fast in rain pants and rubber boots.

Come prepared to get wet…

and to defend yourself from wasps and bees (this may include, but is not limited to, pulling your hoody tightly over your head and/or shrieking like a little girl).

There will be balloons…

and food.

Of course, it’s not really a party until you start seeing sheep.

(please note this is a BYOS event – a sheep will not be provided for you in the event that you leave yours at home)

You will need floaty things…

and decent rain-wear (which, incidentally, does not help anything when you are (a) sitting in the water, or (b) standing in water up to your waist).

The Rubber Ducky races will be fierce…

100_4445

with lots of competition…

100_4449

so try not to go home mad.

I love the 4th picture... boots on, but standing in water deeper than the boots! How typical for a little guy?!

Easter blessings!

Wow, you guys really have a party called that? It looks warm and sunny, and no more snow! Is there no more snow?

Cuuuuuuuute, adorable kids. The sheep is pretty cute too. I love animals. And kids. And sunshine. And parties.

So So So So So So much fun. Great pictures! This was fantastic. My kudos to Pchick for a fantastic party. And I'm glad we could share it... next time I'm going to figure out a generator for a coffee urn. That would complete the whole scene!
