Claire's birthday was on Saturday. Shortly after she turned four, she informed me that she wanted to have a swim party for her next birthday (imagine that). I let her decide between a party with her friends or a party with her cousins (I'm not ready to let her have both), she decided to do a cousin/family party. Phew! I don't know how I would have kept track of a bunch of kids in a swimming pool. We went to Lava, Idaho for the party. First, we met at the Royal for pizza and cake, then went swimming at the indoor pool. The pool was a ton of fun. They have a climbing wall that ascends from the pool, and two diving boards. We swam for almost four hours! We also celebrated my niece, Riley's birthday and my Dad's since their birthdays are also in the month of April.
The hat came from preschool. Claire wore it non-stop for almost two days straight. Everywhere we went, people were wishing her a happy birthday, she loved it.

Food at the Royal.Claire suggested that everyone dress up in costume for the party, so all the girls wore dresses/skirts over their swimsuits.
