I totally get what you mean about having to make an effort not to get tense because the party had to move inside. Lately I've been trying to pretend I'm at someone else's house where I would cut them slack (obviously) so why shouldn't I cut myself some slack. It's not easy though, is it. :) Sounds like your day was fabulous.Little City Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17964199667002906506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-37409185674355363632011-07-06T17:01:38.729-04:002011-07-06T17:01:38.729-04:00Wowza, these are adorable pictures!

We had friends over for water play and ate until we were stuffed and then ate some more, made S'mores over the fire and then waited under canopies until the rain let up enough to do some fireworks.
