Shark Rodeo for the 4th!

0 Comments 02 July 2011

Everyone loves a pool party – and it had been ages since I had been to one, myself. For an early 4th of July celebration this year we got together with my future brother and sister-in-law at her parent’s house to celebrate. We brought food (check out our delicious bruschetta recipe!) but we also brought the fun — because what’s a pool party without pool toys?!

On our way over to the house this afternoon we stopped at Walmart and grabbed some pool toys to bring to the party. Audrey Grace was thrilled that she was able to pick out some toys – she kept throwing things into the basket. We had to gently remind her that we weren’t buying the entire aisle of toys, just a few select ones. Here is what we ended up with:

An inflatable shark, inflatable turtle, variety “pool fun” pack (which included a ring, a beach ball, and a blow up boogie board with a clear see through window that Audrey Grace LOVED), a purple pool noodle and some sunscreen. The shark, turtle, and Pool fun set were $5 each – which was unbeatable. Especially when you consider the abuse that they all took…especially the poor shark…

The men always take turns doing their fancy-pants “pool tricks” whenever we all get together (ask my fiance about the famous “flying squirrel!), but this is the first time I’ve seen Uncle Bruce get in on the action!

I love the comment at the end from one of the guys — “that was 8 seconds”. Awesome.

The pool toys, as you can see, were a huge hit and made for a ton of fun! Here is one last photo of Audrey Grace, my future SIL, and myself having fun in the pool! Thanks Walmart for providing a gift card for all of the fun!
