Mills' Beach Party

Mills' 3rd birthday party was held at the country club pool this year.  He has been begging to go to the beach, but we just weren't able to make it this year.  So, he had his very own beach party.

It was a terrific and easy idea, minus dragging everything over next door.  Home parties are so much easier, but at least I didn't have to make sure our house was spic and span.

All of our family and friends had a ball, especially the birthday boy himself.  Guests were served pizza, fruit, "tropical fish," cupcakes, and cake.

Unfortunately, we had a mishap that made me want to scream out in total despair minor mishap with the camera.  Some how, the mode was switched and the pictures didn't turn out so great. As a matter of fact, all of the pictures of Mills blowing out his candles are completely black, and I am praying that someone happened to catch it on camera.   Yep, we missed the blowing out of the birthday candles.  I could just cry, but whats done is done.

Shark cupcakes

Fruit shark (pinterest idea gone bad! lol)

Mills' cake!  We had a minor landslide of palm trees...ooops!

"Tropical fish"

Another pinterest idea.  Napkins and utensils wrapped with jute and lifesavers.

Seashells collected by my mom and some by me, at Miami Beach, years ago!

Mills doing a belly flop in 1 ft. of water.  Not a good idea!
