Circus Party Craziness...

WARNING- This post is very picture heavy....

Today we were in Oconomowoc for Lily Pearl's 1 1/2 year birthday party! Due to her birthday being in December, they decided to wait until summer to throw this 1 year birthday bash! And man can the Woida family throw a party. I am a bit disappointed because my pictures really don't do the party justice. I missed pictures of the cupcakes (100+) and the prize area, and probably lots of other things too. But you will get the idea!

Sorry about the lack of order of my collages too. There were too many to try to organize them, so I will just explain underneath them...
Duff the Clown...Rowan's 1st Clown encounter ever, and she did great. Even stood still long enough to have a butterfly looking creature drawn on her arm!

Rowan seemed to be more interested in the non-circus items at times. Like the swings, she has been on plenty of swings, but she sure hogged the baby swing! And the tunnel, she has one at home (even if it is in the basement out of sight), and she spent many minutes in that thing too. Flirting with Jack on the monkey bars, such a girl!

So, there was a photo booth to dress like a clown! These are most of the kids we knew there. Maya, Mason, Alex, Hadley, Ella, ROWAN, Maya (again), Amelia, Noah and Jack!

And us big people: oh and Rowan, Cora, Me, Jodi, Heidi, Lisa, and Michelle!

And all of Rowan!

Here are some random pictures of the party experience, and the extreme measures Amy took to live out the circus life! Oh, and there is Lily too! Little clown girl!

Rowan did actually get in to some of the games. She didn't realize that you won tickets, and could them turn them in for prizes, she just had fun doing whatever she was supposed to do. Usually not in the right manner, but she didn't care. Most of the 'carneys' didn't care either.

Rowan played in the sandbox, she really hasn't been around sand in a long time to remember what it was like. And there is Miss Birthday Girl, all dressed up for the party!

All in all, it was a lovely day for a party. A bit windy, but no rain. We didn't stay for all of the festivites since we were in town early in the day, and we were hoping for Rowan to nap on the way home. So we missed out on the pie eating contest, bingo, and karaoke! Perhaps I will be able to borrow a few photos from Lisa to sum up the areas I missed!

Thanks for having us Amy and Doug, it was a blast! Happy belated Birthday Lily!
