Happy Birthday Taylin!!

This year for Taylin's birthday she wanted to go swimming at a "big" swimming pool.  A couple of years ago we found the best pool in the world.  It is the Veteran's Pool in Provo.  Not only does this pool have a HUGE kids pool, but they also have a regular pool and two really big water slides.  That might not seem like a big deal, but at this pool they let you take your kids down these big water slides.  That is not very common anymore, so it is definitely a perk for us.  The best part about this pool is that it is only $3 per person to get in, and 3 year olds and younger are free!!  So anyways, this is where we decided to have Taylin's party.  

We started out at the park that is right next to it, and we were lucky enough to be able to use a pavillion.  We started out with pizza and soda, then we had cake and opened presents.  Then it was off to the pool.  Here are some of the pictures....

                    Here is McKinzley and Taylin enjoying their pizza, YUM!
                                  Chad, Brexlyn and McKinzley
Here are most of the cousins sitting on some cute little chairs that Grandma Beckie brought
Allyson, Brooke, Aunt Maria and Grandma and Grandpa Heal enjoying the food
Here is Taylin's cake.  She has been asking since McKinzley's birthday in March for an "orange truck cake".  We had a hard time finding one, so she settled for this cake.  She absolutely loved it!

SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!  This is Taylin holding up a $20 bill!  Grandma Beverly gave her this precious gift.  She still hasn't decided what she wants to buy with it.
She got so many great gifts.  This is a box of all different sorts of toy animals, bugs and fish.  Taylin, Oaklee and McKinzley played with these animals for about three days straight, and they still carry them around anywhere they go.  Thank you Grandma Heal!
Next came the water.  Surprisingly, Brexlyn LOVED the water!  She played the entire time.
These are the two big slides.  This is Grandpa Hoyt and Oaklee after one of their many times down.
Here is Drew and Taylin getting out from going on the slide.  Thanks to Drew, Kirstin, Chad, and Grandpa Hoyt, we had enough adults to take the kids down the slides over and over again.  Thanks you guys!!!
Thanks to everyone who came!  I know that our girls had a blast, and so did we!

I love that park! We used to live right by there before they added all the fun stuff to the pool, I'm glad to hear that it is still 3 bucks! It sounds like you guys had a lot of fun!
