So, it all started as a mermaid slip and slide birthday...then I got a little carried a way, it was a ton of fun! 
(I asked Kam before the party, "are you excited for the slip and slide?" and she responded with concern in her voice, "yea, but I really want to learn how to zip all of my coats and tie my shoes before kindergarten." The responsibilities were setting in of growing older, so cute.
I made all the girls mermaid tails and dressed them up with sea shell necklesses and glitter
Then it was off to the 'beach' for a mermaid scavenger hunt. The girls loved this part! They dug in the sand and searched for rubies, sea shells, crystals, treasures, and little sea creatures. They couldn't get enough of it. The girls then turned in a treasure for the exchange of a surprise...a flower ring.
Baby Makayla and her cousin Amarie
At her party we also had a mermaid race (I tied their feet together and they had to hop), crab race, Limbo "under the sea", crafts, and snacked on blue ocean jello with sea weed cucumbers and pickles and fish crackers:)

The girls and I made this cake. It looked pretty good, however, it tasted pretty yucky:) Kamara requested a coconut cake...I need a new recipe for that one.
The day after the friend party, we had a family cake and ice cream party, and it was a blast! Kamara has some great adult friends...thanks Kody, Reed, Dan, Sam, Naomie, Sam, Julia, Spence, Bonnie (in non of the pics cuz she took most of the pictures for me, thanks Bonnie), Papa and Nannie, and grandma Simmons for lovin our girls so much and always showin them a fun time!
I must say, she is one Beautiful mermaid princess!
Playing her new harmonica! Thanks Grandmama
Getting the dance party started!
Mommy's turn...
Dan and Kody got the girls kites. It was super windy, we had a blast flying them. Kam got the T Rex Kite, she loves dinosaurs.
After the kite flying, Kody whipped out Kamara's bike that he fixed, only there was no training wheels on it! So the boys taught Kam how to ride a bike! After a few tumbles and laughs, Kamara's determination brought her out on top! After two days of practice, my little girl (I write this almost with tears:) can now ride a bike...You are precious Kam. Love you Sweetie, Happy Birthday!!!
