When Hank turned four in June we were preparing to go to Ocean City so we didn't have a party. But Hank didn't forget. So we had a party for his friends this week. He invited 3 friends and their siblings: Josh, Lexi, and Alyssa; Jacob and Jordan; Emme and Eric. We had pizza, then played games in the back yard, including: water balloons, train tag, pin the banana in the monkey's hands, mouth or stomach (we had two monkeys - one drawn by Corrina and one drawn by Rene), tunnel race, freeze dancing, and limbo. Hank got some cool gifts: a monster truck that plays music and moves forward and reverse from Jacob, a Thomas the Tank Engine coal playset from Josh, and a huge bag full of craft supplies from Emme. And Hank had a monkey cake just like Corrina had a few years ago. Here are a few pics:
