Lily had the great idea to host a party for all the kids getting ready to enter 6th grade at Stonehaven. She loves these sweet friends and wanted to have some catch-up time before school started. We told her that sounded like fun, but she would need to plan the whole thing. She gladly accepted!
Everyone arrived about 6:30 and had fun playing and talking out in the front yard; the parents enjoyed this too as it's been awhile since we've been together! The Dominos man arrived at 7, so that brought the kids in pretty quickly. Everyone grabbed some pizza and breadsticks and headed outside to enjoy the beautiful evening.
After dinner, everyone hung around talking some more and jumping on the trampoline. Lily also arranged a scavenger hunt. She divided everyone into three teams and they each had five clues to find. The winning team received tickets for VIP seating on the couch for the movie later in the evening. For the record, they didn't redeem them as all the boys crowded on the couch while the girls spread out around the deck.
About 8:30 it was time to grab some popcorn and the mix-ins...mini marshmallows, pretzels, plain M&M's and goldfish. There was also Hershey Kisses and Oreos for our braces-wearing friends (and those who simply like them).
Just as the sun set, everyone found a seat and we started National Treasure. Such a fun movie that everyone seemed to enjoy!
Hard to believe, but 6th grade, here they come!
