I wanted to do something fun for my girls (ages 7 and 9)before their summer vacation was over so I decided to have a "Girlfriends Pool Party". We invited 10 of their closest friends from school. Most of whom they had not seen all summer. Invitations were written on beach balls and mailed in 8x11 envelopes. Menu: 1.

…showed last 75 words of 1947 total…what is usually a freezing cold snow bound winter.. the key to this party is advance planning- when all the back to school stuff comes out bigger party stores and department stores such as Wal-Mart clear out bubbles, pool toys, anything summery really for at least 50 per cent off- most of the buckets and bubble sets I got were more like 75 per cent off. Happy partying- I hope someone can use some of these ideas.
