Lydia turned 6 on May 11th. To celebrate we planned a Beach theme birthday party. Over the past several years it has always been sunny on her birthday so we thought luck was on our side, unfortunately this year it was a little on the wet side so this beach party was held mostly inside.
However, that didn't seem to phase Lydia, because when it was over she hugged me and said
"I had the time of my life" 
We played several games. One was musical beach towels. Instead of sitting, the girls had to sun bath when the music stopped.

We also decorated flip flops. 
Ate goodies along with a piece of Lydia's flip flop cake.
The sun came out at towards the end of the party so we ended the party outside for a relay race. The girls had to run down with a beach ball and put something on that they would wear at the beach.
Following this the water ballons came out in this 50 degree weather and several of the girls got swim suits on and pretended they were at the beach.
We sure love this big 6 year old!

That evening we took the kids to one of our family's favorite birthday dinner restaurants and Lydia ended her meal with this giant piece of chocolate cake. What a day!!!
We sure love this big 6 year old!

Sounds like a great birthday!! She is a doll!!
Looks like a lot of fun...even if the party did end up inside for the most part, crazy weather! The flip flops cake was very cute! Lydia sure is growing up as is Jacob and his "so big-boy looking" 2 year old pics, very cute! On a side note will your boys play fall soccer thru the park & recs again this fall?
Fun ideas Stephanie – too bad the weather didn’t cooperate, but it looks like everything still worked out great. The girls had a great time and LOVE their new flip flops!
By the way, Lydia looks adorable in that hat!

Lydia sure is a sweet girl. It looks like a great party and fun birthday. I love the flip flops cake.
The party was so cute and my girls had a blast. They have been wearing the flip flops every day! I love the musical towels idea and the cake turned out great.
Happy Birthday, Lydia!
What a fun birthday party. I've always wanted to do a beach theme party for Rylie. Love the cake!
Stephanie, you need to make a birthday party idea blog or write a book, you are so clever. I can see why Lydia had the best time, you really think of everything.
