Held in the backyard of Emma's friend, the party was all about water and summer fun. First, the girls had a water balloon toss.
After water balloons, the kids played in the sprinkler and on the swing set. Another easy idea is a Slip & Slide or a couple of baby pools filled with water and beach balls.
Refreshments included cookies, chips, Popsicles and a make-your-own sundae. At a previous party, the hostess set up a lemonade stand, which would have been just perfect at this party too.To make the lemonade stand, the mom simply set up a card table covered in a plastic tablecloth and taped 2 wood poles to the two front corners of the table. She made a colorful sign and hung it between the two poles above the table. A cooler with push spout was filled with lemonade and set on the table, along with Dixie cups. Throughout the party the kids were able to serve themselves. It was a huge hit that my daughter still talks about.
This water fun party just goes to show you that you don't always need fancy decorations and activities for a fun party. A small budget and a little creativity made for a memorable time!

Also fun...you can freeze the lemonade in popscicle cases and serve with the cookies!
