Party on, 6-Year-Olds. Kick back, Mom and Dad.

It's done.

We're home.

*sigh*

The pool party was great (if I may say so myself) and everyone had a wonderful time. They swam for two hours and then in the party room ate like a pack of wolves. Hot dogs, chips, nachos, strawberries, cheese cubes, peanut butter and jelly crackers, chocolate chip cookies and lots of pop and then cake and ice cream.

Our son got wonderful gifts and the guests loved their treat bags filled with shells and bubblers and stickers and plastic fish and those little paper umbrellas you open and put on drinks.

Whoa.

It's Miller time.

I am glad to say I am past that stage except for potential grandchildren.

We had a house large enough to have the party and the food in separate areas. That was good for 6 year olds and even better for 16 year olds.

I remember one disastrous party laid on by the Royal Navy for children of officers. They had the food first, jam, chocolate, jelly and ice cream etc. and THEN took the children for a fast ride on a motor torpedo (PT in US) boat at 40+ knots. The timing was decided by the tides.

30 VIP children vomiting all over an expensive warship was interesting.

The Moms were probably not in charge of party details, then?

Too funny.

Reminds me of some of the parties held in my family. (For some reason I always got Dragooned into helping out. Might be my high tolerance to pain? )

The parties my sister had for her kids always involved fun and games outside followed by cake, ice cream, and tons of other sweets inside. This was again followed by fun and games outside, as nauseum. (Sometimes, usually quite literaly. ) I always thought she should have an automatic Insulin Injector in her doorway for these parties.

The parties my brother held for his kids were always great hits with the other parents. (They always seemed to end up being sleepovers, so they had the night off.)

With a little distance on it, you kinda miss that stuff. And my daughter says she isn't having any children. Technically, therefore, I have failed to reproduce.

It must be the tie.
