gabi's birthday party

gabi wanted to wait for warmer weather to have her birthday party

so she could take her friends tubing on the boat.

we checked out the weather forecast and monday was predicted to be the perfect day.

and it was!!

we packed up friends, food and fun and headed to boulder reservoir for the evening.

they played messy twister  - ha!!

it was convenient to have the water right there to clean off all of the messy twister

red ketchup, yellow mustard, green relish and blue jello gunk!

they played water balloon volleyball and had a picnic dinner.

but their best was riding on the boat and tubing.

from shore we could hear loads of laughter and happy screaming!

ben, margo, sab and katherine snuck in a boat ride and tubing just before sunset.

i think the party was a success!

i forgot to add the photos from the rest of the bday party evening......

after getting home from boating, the girls all hopped into the hot tub
to warm up.
then they attacked the ice cream sundae bar!

thanks for coming girls!  gabi has wonderful friends :)
