Cubs Swim Party

The Cubs had their annual swim party this past weekend.  This time we did it at Gigi and Boom's house and everyone had a great afternoon, just like last year.

I ordered baseball cupcakes, but the guy who took my order thought I wanted a cupcake cake, so this is what we got!  It all worked out just fine--kids love cupcakes in any form!

The pool was put to very good use by the 12 boys and all of their siblings.  I think there were about 20 kids total and they were going bananas.  So much fun.

At one point I looked over and saw my youngest going down the slide on her tummy!  Oh my!  Thank goodness her daddy was right there to catch her.  She really did think that with her whole 8 days of swim class she was ready to jump in with the big kids.

I was much more at ease, however, when she was just hanging out with Maisie on the steps.

After an hour or so of hardcore water play, these kids were ready for some grub.  They put down plenty of hot dogs and chips...

and then got ready to inhale this scrumptious cookie cake.  Thanks, Juliana! There was not one tiny piece left at the end of the party.

After dessert, they were back in the pool in full force.  This time, Boom got in with Lila and she must have jumped to him 22 times. She kept saying, "Just one more time!"...



then she'd take a flying leap towards him.



"Giddy up, Boom!"

Towards the end of the party, Coach Brian rounded up all the boys for the awards ceremony.  We are still waiting on their trophies since the tournament isn't over yet.  We want the big ones, too!

Jackson got an award for being a dedicated player and working hard all season. 

We have been so fortunate to have such an amazing group of kids and coaches.  They all get along really well and just know how to get the job done and have fun.  We will be rooting for them when they play for the championship this Thursday!  I can't wait.  LET'S GO CUBS!!
