Island Party 5

P7235490

This year Andy’s sister Lizz and her boyfriend Eric joined us for Jenna and Greg’s 5th Island Party.

The kids loved the water table. Here, Jenna with Hannah and Mark with Connor.

The party is always an OU reunion of sorts, with friends from near and far attending.

I finally got to meet Dara and Mike’s beautiful baby daughter, Nora.

Sophie loved the flamingo cupcakes Greg’s mom made.

Once 8pm hit I tried to give the boys their bedtime bottles in their car seats, hoping they’d simply drift off to sleep in the quiet, living room darkness. This picture shows you how well my plan worked.

Once again, thank you, Jenna and Greg, for a fun party. It’s always fun (see here and here).

“On with the dance! let joy be unconfined;
No sleep till morn, when Youth and Pleasure meet
To chase the glowing hours with flying feet.” —George Gordon Byron
