Our big girl, Ansley has a slight obsession with Disney Princesses, purses, cowboy boots and hats. She's all girl, but she can also be a little rough and tough at times. She loves mermaids and has asked for a Little Mermaid birthday party since her 3rd birthday, so that was the plan. However, one day out of the blue a couple of months before her birthday, she told me she wanted a cowgirl party. Wait..huh?! This wouldn't have been any big deal had I not already been looking everywhere for Mermaid birthday ideas. Of course, that's what I get for planning ahead! No big deal...I got this. Ha! And then she mentions, Cape Splash is her location of choice because we advised against another birthday party at home. Well, Daddy wasn't quite going for the hefty price tag associated with the waterpark party, so that was her next obstacle. But this little turkey is smooth. Every time we would drive by the waterpark, she would say with the most excitement she could muster up....Oh, look! It's Cape Spwash, the best place EVER for birthday parties. Daddy isn't that where I'm gonna have mine?!" I mean...how can you say no to that?! Well you guessed it...he didn't. One thing about little girls....they have their Daddy's around their little fingers! So after months of trying to persuade her Daddy to let her have a few friends at the waterpark, it worked. Cowgirls and cowboys at the waterpark is what we had! She was so elated! Despite the freezing cold, July 1st weather!
Here's her cowgirl/Mermaid outfit.
These were some of the table decorations. Some of the others were Ansley's cowgirl boots and hats. We couldn't have a cowgirl party without them!
Ready to swim!
So was this little bathing beauty
The kiddos played in the windy, 73 degree weather (freezing on July 1st...how does that happen?)
Charli finally decided to get a little wet too :)
Then it was time for some cupcakes, cowpatties (brownie covered oreos), and ice cream! We sang Happy Birthday to Ansley and then it was time for her presents
Charli loved the ice cream!
And playing with her friend, Miriam
Ansley loved all of her goodies! She has some great little friends. :)
As you can tell....it was cold! Most lips were blue!
Except for my dad. He loves that kind of weather!
Jansen was so cute in his red cowboy hat
Charli and Westin stayed out of the cold water and played in the pavilion a bit. How cute is he?!
Ansley and her sweet friend, Sophia
Tanner, Chiara, and Ansley were the last ones to leave!
Bathing while sister played in the water with friends
It was such a fun day for Ansley and we're so thankful that her little friends came out despite the cold temps! She is STILL talking about her fun Cape Spwash birthday and of course, planning her 5th! Geez.
