The sign of a good party...

...is dirty feet!

This was the case for Sydney after she had a filthy good time at her buddy's birthday party.

She and I took a girls trip a few weeks ago to Florida to visit some dear old (and new) friends.

Our trip coincided with one of her good friends' 2nd birthday party.  And what fun it was!  Who doesn't love a bounce house!?!?  Even the adults got in on the action after dark when the little kids were sleeping.  Tip (from our teenage bounce house aficionados) - spray the slides with pledge for speed!

 I keep trying to figure out when we're going to get the kids feet in the sand this summer.  This is not exactly what I had in mind.  But she enjoyed it nonetheless.

Syd with some of her best buds and our gracious hosts!

They had lots of cool toys...

 Making new friends.  Sydney loves loves loves babies!

Sadly some of her best times in Florida cannot be shared on this forum as she was inexplicably tempted to shed all clothing during seriously fun play.  I blamed her strip-tation on our proximity to FSU.  Pat has already crossed it off the list of potential colleges for her future.  Not.  Gonna. Happen.


Case in point...

Syd is a big fan of flying and planes in general.  She was an excellent travel partner.

But this is what she thinks of me taking pictures!
