Boys Birthday Parties

My second grandson goes off to college next week. That leaves me with just one grandson still in high school. The years go by too fast!

Watching children go back to school always makes me nostalgic. I remember summer fun with my children and their children. Boys Birthday Parties at the water parks were simply the best.

All three of my grandsons have birthdays between May 2 – June 1. When they were smaller, we celebrated their birthdays together, usually at one of Denver’s many water parks.

Our first outing was to Water World, a huge water park north of Denver when Connor and Chance were still toddlers. We set up near the kiddie pool and they played and splashed until they were exhausted. 

As the boys got older, we went to the Broomfield water park. Everyone was free to explore the different slides, but the main attraction was the giant family slide. It was so big enough that five people could go down at the same time.

Afternoons at the water park included lots of food, birthday cupcakes, gifts and always a piñata. Max, being the youngest, never wanted to be left out. He explored the big pools and often made new friends along the way.

As the boys have gotten older, their schedules are more difficult to manage. Connor and Chance have jobs and Max has baseball.

Grandpa Jim and I no longer have jobs to go to. Now we have memories.
