Easiest Birthday Party Ever!

OK, this 10 year old birthday party goes down as one of the cheapest and easiest parties for my kiddo's. Conner decided that he wanted a sports party for his birthday. We were a little slow in planning, so it ended up being a couple of weeks after his "real" birthday, but he was good enough to be OK with that. We did the invites on Evite - love it. All Conner wanted to do was go to the park with his friends and play sports. They got dropped off at our house and we took the kids down to the park. I carried my chair to the shade and sat and watched while Travis supervised (played with) the kids.Miles, Joey, Ryan & James (Isaac came later)
Christian, Kyle, Conner, Parker and Lucas

Cooling off in the shade between games.

They played soccer, baseball and then flag football. Notice the lovely sock tails hanging out of all their pants. That was Trav's idea. It worked really good and I didn't have to use any of my fabric! They got all played out (including Travis) and we herded them back to our house for cake and ice cream and presents.

Conner got them all out on his first try.
(This is the yummiest cake that Sam's club makes and for $6.50 it's well worth it!)

Conner had a ton of fun and loved playing sports with his friends.
I loved that it was cheap, I didn't have to do much and that he had a memorable birthday!
Thanks Conner for being such a great kid!
