Party Recap

Sawyer's dinosaur themed 3rd birthday party was a roarin' good time!! We served dino-mite desserts (all of Sawyer's favorites)! Sawyer's birthday cake was a sculpted dinosaur wearing a party hat and holding a "3" flag. All of the kids had a blast pretending to be paleontologists and finding toy dinosaurs in the dino dig! It was a wonderful day!

    Hi! I would love to know where you got that tan covering to put over the pool? We are trying to do the same thing but not sure what will fit over our kiddie pools. Thanks so much. My son's Dino party is in a week -- he is turning one. :-) Love the site.

    Hi Michelle! Thanks so much for your message! We covered the pool with tan kraft paper (the kind that comes on big spools). We just wrapped it around the pool in a few different directions to cover it all and then taped it underneath on the bottom. I hope you have a wonderful time at your son's 1st birthday party next week! :-)
