Madison's 3rd Birthday Party with Milwaukee Friends

We decided to have Madison's 3rd Birthday party with our friends from Milwaukee actually in Milwaukee at the new Holiday Inn's Puddle Jumper Lagoon. We knew it was a water playground, but we didn't really know what to expect. The location ended up being perfect for the age of kids we have. They had a one story water slide that the 3 and 4 year old kids could go down by themselves. The slide just had a stopper at the end, so the kids didn't shoot out into a pool of water. Even Noah loved going down the slide with Daddy. The pool was split in two. One half had a big piece of playground equipment with the typical water shooting out from everywhere and the other half of the pool was deep with two basketball hoops. The two halves of the pool were separated with a wall. In the area with the playground structure, the pool got as shallow as 0.5", so all the babies could easily crawl around without being underwater. All of the kids loved it and had such a great time. Madison was on a dead run the entire time, and Noah just kept trying to crawl over to the water slide. (We think he was hinting that he wanted to go down). Here are some of our favorite pictures from the day:

We take time out from the water to sing "Happy Birthday" and have cake.
