Esther Turns Four!

The Conrad’s were nice enough to invite us to Essie’s blow out birthday bash a few weeks ago.  We didn’t plan to stay long since it was my only Saturday off in many weeks and because we didn’t expect the boys to really participate in the water fun due to age and shyness, but boy were we wrong!  We ended up making the boys stop playing after everyone else had left.  They had so much fun!  Thanks to the whole Conrad clan for having us!

The snow cones (Josiah’s first) were delicious!

 

And so was the watermelon!

The entertainment was pretty fun, too!      Oddly, Elijah doesn’t like to have stuff stuck to him :)

Cuties!  And good friends, too!

Josiah gravitated towards playing with the younger kids in the little pools (Henry and Elijah were familiar territory) in the beginning because he doesn’t really like to be watched when he tries new things.  He does best without pressure.  But once the crowd cleared, he was excited to try the water slide.  Adeline was so sweet with him and he really enjoyed himself.  Thanks, Addy, for being so nice!

  We had to force him to get off the slide!
