Beach Party at South!

Our Parents As Teacher's friend, Amanda helped organize a beach party bash at South Elementary for the kiddos last week.  They really put a lot of thought into making it really fun for the kids by having sensory activities, treats, and also lots of physical play.  There was a sand and water table, a volleyball net with beach balls, balloons, sidewalk chalk, paint and other crafting activities.  Ansley loved it!  We actually had a really hard time prying her away from it all.  She just didn't want to leave!
Here are a few pictures from her fun filled evening.

We jumped right in with the fishing activity.  She spotted the food immediately and insisted we start there. That's my girl!

It went a little like this....grab your fishing rod (the pretzel), dip it in the cheese, and try to catch a goldfish.  It was fun and yummy! 

Next up, sand castles (Ansley was adamant about bringing her princess pail she got for Easter from Mimi and BB)! 

Checking out the sea animals in the kiddie pool 

She loved seeing the little crab aka Sebastian from the Little Mermaid :)

Then it was balloon spatting time??? Ha!  This was one of her favorite activities.  She was all over that gym floor trying to keep up with her balloon! 

Daddy and Ansley making a starfish with glue and sand. 

And then for her little "hand crab".  She was soooo proud! 

What a fun night!  It was a great evening to get out as a family and allow Ansley to just play.  Best part....it was free!
