So lets see...the bouncy arrived on Friday night, rather than Saturday morning, which was a bonus for us. The kids got some extra bouncing in before Fandango even started! Now that's some bang for your buck! Saturday morning started with breakfast at Brian and Becky's. This is the second year of this unofficial Fandango event. We had pancakes, quiche and I made a marvelous French Chocolate Coffee Cake (yes, from scratch) that was a hit! From breakfast the kids went out to bounce, and the adults started to set up coolers, tabels, games and toys. About 2:30, everyone started to assemble in the O'Loughlins garage and the snacking began. At 3:30 Aaron and I zipped off to Famous Daves to pick up the shredded pork which was to be our main course (we were all sick of burgers and dogs). While we were gone, the face painter arrived and started painting faces. She is so quick and does a super job. The kids absolutely loved it. Mags and most of the girls were princesses, and Maya waited patiently for her turn and had flowers on her face. They were so cute! Then they all got a balloon animal, and she did a few magic tricks for them. Cheesy, but the kids loved it. We all ate some dinner and played lawn games while the kids bounced and played in the pools. Around 5:00 the Woodbury Fire Department arrived and let the kids check out the fire truck. They got out all the gear to look at and even let all the kids hold the fire hose and shoot out water. This was definitely the hit of the party! At dusk, we broke out the fireworks...the smoke balls and snakes were the biggest hits, and then the kids were off to bed. We re-assembled after bedtime for a fire in the cul de sac. I think there were 18 people around the fire! There we chatted and finished off the desserts. We are all still recovering from the weekend. Both the girls slept in until after 9:00 this morning and are cranky as all get out! I guess that's what you get after a weekend of non-stop excitement.
