Shep's 'Greatest Showman' 6th Birthday Party

When the kids are in elementary school, we let them have a "class/friend" birthday party, every other year. This being Shep's kindergarten year, he had his first school birthday party and boy did we party.

He insisted on it being The Greatest Showman theme. The thing about having Zach's kids is that they love their sports, but also love a good musical too. I respect that.

We reserved a park near us, borrowed my mom's popcorn maker and her friend's cotton candy machine, grilled hot dogs, baked some pretzels, strung together some carnival like games and called it a circus. It was perfect! The night was beautiful. And it had been just enough time since school was out that the kids (all 20) were super excited to see each other again. We crashed so hard at the end but it was worth every single second because Shep's cup indeed runeth over that night!


  Shep saw these "bar bells" online and insisted we make them.








 Sofie the Spectacular did some face painting!


The Brendsel's came of course too, Adam and Jenni were indispensable- helping us manage all those kiddos.

We shot down cups with water guns...



 Some pillow sack races...















 Did you forget kindergartners don't know personal space?


And we wrapped things up with a pie eating contest! Demonstrated first by Reagan and Logan.
