Shrimp Boil 2011

After the concert on Saturday we held our annual shrimp boil. This year we had 13 children and 10 adults, tons of food, water sports and cocktails to go around. All the kids got along and we all had a great time together.
We loaded up on appetizers and drinkies first.
The kids let loose!

The kids keep multiplying so we had to borrow an extra picnic table this year.

We are so happy that almost all of our friends were able to join us this year.

Let's get boiling!

DONE!

It isn't a shrimp boil without some dancing on the stairs. The older kids have certainly graduated from Choo Choo Soul and The Wiggles to definite hip hop!

Shrimp is served!
I grabbed some of the dad's to help me with the tear down of the water slide. Thanks Matt!

Kristen even made all of the kids dreams come true and made Dora cupcakes. Leah is a Dora fanatic right now so she was super duper excited.

Thanks Auntie Kris for these yummy treats!

She definitely approved and I will be placing an order the beginning of March for her 3rd birthday.

After dessert the whole deck seemed to be dancing; kids and adults alike! We can certainly be cool despite what our kids think from time to time.


We ended the evening with glow sticks, sparklers and a camp fire.

Thank you to our wonderful friends for making it such a fantastic night!
