Invited to "a boys" Birthday Party

A few weeks ago, our oldest had a HUGE smile on her face when we picked her up from school. She immediately gave us an envelope, inside which had an invitation to a birthday party for a boy in her class. The invitation said 'bring your bathing suit'. The party was located at a local hotel indoor pool area and there were about 15 kids invited.

We weren't sure how comfortable she would be swimming by herself so we borrowed a 'life jacket' from another friend of hers and I (Daddy) stayed in the pool area to take pictures and be there in case she needed mom or dad. She is used to swimming at our local YMCA with an instructor by her side at all times.

As you can see by this picture, she had no problem at all swimming by herself.

Here she is sitting by the pool in her borrowed 'life jacket'.

Here she is chasing the boys into the pool and showing off her diving skills.

After swimming, she had a choice of dinner - she choose grilled cheese sandwiches.

The birthday boy actually wanted to sit next to her too to eat dinner and have cake.

Here is is being silly and telling Daddy to leave her alone and "Go away!".
