We survived our first teen party!

Morgan asked me last week if they could have a party and invite all their friends!  I told her of course she could and she sure did!  Last night we had all together 29 kids here.  It was great noisy chaotic awesomeness!  There were kids in the pool, kids in the basement having Wii dance competitions (which I found out Christian dominated!), kids running through the house with lightsabers and guns, kids on the playground in back, and some just hung out and talking with the adults.  There were kids everywhere!!!!  It was great!

Lots of kiddos were in the pool!

The kids spent a lot of time in the pool!  There were a few pool breaks where the kids went and ate or played somewhere else.  They finally gave the pool a rest after 2am and retreated to the basement to watch movies!

Just a few of the awesome kids that came!  Aaron, Lauren, Abby and Roland!  

Lots of texting between swimming, dancing, games, eating....still the texting!  LOL!

A few awesome moms hung out for a while as well!  

Max grilled 160 hot dogs, we had potato salad made with 10 pounds of potatoes and 20 eggs, tons of cookies, chips and drinks!  We have so much left over!!! I'm glad kids spent the night and helped us eat some of the leftovers. :)

 Ha...caught Christian mid-bite!!!!

 

The kids had a long dance off competition downstairs.  It was LOUD!!!!  Lots of laughter, lots and lots of laughing!!!  I love to hear them laughing and having such a good time!  The lovely Lydia, Brianna, and Yanisa!

Justice, Lauren, Aaron, Abby, and Avery!

Morgan rockin' her pink hair!  

There was even a Root Beer fight I hear amongst the kiddos.

John seeming ever so cool!

The lovely Hannah!!!!

Around 1am the last few people started trickling out leaving only a few that had decided to stay the night.  The kids decided to go jump on the trampoline after everyone left (reason #101 that I love being so far off the road...no one hears our kids when they are playing late at night during the summer!) and then around 2am decided to take one last swim because they were so hot from the trampoline!  Tim and I were able to get everyone inside around 3am, locked the doors and we went to bed.  When the teens came out of the basement this afternoon they told us that most of them had stayed up with homemade brownies/milk, watching movies, had more dance competitions, and played Apples to Apples until after 6am.  Crazy teens!  They had a blast though and are already planning one for next month.
