We had intended to celebrate Ethan's second birthday with a Cars party at the splash pad at our neighborhood park - Desert Breeze. Oh, we knew it would be hot (it is Arizona in July after all) but as the afternoon crept on we were finding ourselves in record temperatures...even for the middle of the desert! When we were driving over to set up and my car thermometer said 119 degrees (with humidity) we decided to go with plan B! Rich's Dad Ric, and Step-mom Steph offered to have Ethan's party at their house. As soon as we stepped into that air conditioning we knew we had made the right choice! Ethan was just excited to have a Cars party, so he didn't mind (or notice) the location change.
The kids all had a blast swimming in the pool and we sang Happy Birthday with a cupcake for Ethan, and ice cream floats for everyone. Yum! When we were outside eating our treats, I asked Ethan, "Should we go inside and open your presents?" I'm telling you, that boy took off running faster than I have ever seen right into the house!
Thank you sooo much to Ric and Steph for opening up their house to everyone at the last minute, and to everyone who helped Ethan celebrate his second birthday! We were especially thrilled to have Ethan's Papa Cuff, and his Bubby and Papi here from California!
