Evelyn and Freddie's Birthday Party

On June 25 we celebrated Evelyn's 5th birthday and Freddie's 3rd birthday in Longmont.  We had a great time and as always, the Hess family threw an amazing party.
All the kids sitting around with the singing and guitar playing children's entertainment.
Even Kellan was entertained by the entertainment.
Audience participation time.  I have no idea what these sticks are called.
Drum time!
Even Kellan got to participate this time.


Everyone was having a great time!
Oliver is not one to miss cake, ice cream and a round of the Happy Birthday song.

The birthday girl, Miss Evelyn.  Happy 5th Birthday!
The birthday boy, Mr Freddie.  Happy 3rd birthday Freddie.
The kids all went out back to release lady bugs on the hop plants.  I hear they are good for the plants and eat the aphids.  This was a BIG hit with the kiddos.

I love this photo of Evelyn.  She flinched right when I took it.  She's checking out a lady bug on her shoulder.  They were everywhere!!

We hear that if a lady bug lands on you it is a sign of good luck.  These kids should have good luck for many years to come.
Meanwhile, Keith and Kellan were enjoying the shade with a drink and an empty glass.  Regardless of who's was empty or full, they were happy.

Looks like a tad bit of Mom's lemonade is still in the bottom of the glass.  Maybe that is what had Kellan's interest peaked.
Kellan got some time with the youngest Hess, Johnny.  Johnny is only 2 months younger than Kellan.

What summer birthday party would be complete without water balloons?

Carefully pursuing the target.
What you didn't see was off to the right he was after his target Jeff Hess.  Keith and I may or may not have had something to do with his choice of target.
Then this one had a little hole, perfect to get Oliver with.
What a great party!  Thanks for including the Hamilton family in the Hess birthday celebration.
Happy Birthday Evelyn and Freddie!
