Party was awesome!

Taco bar was the best!! It was a huge hit because it was not typical. The soft taco shells disappeared first. I bought trays from Walmart that kept the meat warm with a candle underneath. 

Props

I have decided to make props for the party.  I see really good ones on etsy.  I am going to buy really thick poster boards.  I went to Michaels yesterday and price shopped for them and bought the paper to make the invitations.

Food plans

I plan on having an authentic pinata and mexican food.  Looking at really nice things on pinterest.  Beow is a super cute picture. I wish we could go the water park but Abby gets scared.

The basics - Place

the only park avialable at this late of notice is the doggie park playground at Walsingham park.  I will take it.  10/12/14!

The basics - Time

The basics to any party is a date, time, and place.  I usually throw my parties from 2pm to 5 pm. So that part is easy.  This year, I wanted to try something that everyone already does that I have never done.  I am getting a shelter at the park next to the playground. Abby doesn't like a lot of things yet, like skating or jumping in bouncy houses. She likes simple things like going down the slide or getting pushed on a swing.  So the others things are a waste of my money.
