The invitations were mailed out last week and today was Kennedy’s last hurrah before school starts.
Kennedy filled the pool with balloons (an idea we stole from Amy) …
… salty snacks were set out in sand buckets …
… along with bright, summery plates and napkins …
… and cold drinks to fight off the high temps.
These slushies were an idea we took from American Girl …
… and so were these island-style pudding cups (although the taffy leaves drooped so badly that we substituted mint leaves on the palm trees instead).
The girls all seemed to have a great time and it was fun to watch Kennedy having fun with such an awesome group of girls.
Those pudding cups are adorable.
Looks like so fun! The balloons look like a fun idea, I’ll have to try that. I could drink that slushie right now, looks so refreshing 🙂
That looks like it was pretty sweet party. Love all the ideas – it was beautifully put together.

That looks like one fun pool party! I love ALL the fabulous details….even down to the food. You are so cute and clever. That sign in the front of your house is awesome too. I need to remember some of these parties. There is nothing better then a pool party in the summer. Thank you for linking up. It really has made my day 🙂 Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
This looks like wonderful party. I’m sure the girls enjoyed a wonderful party to celebrate the end of summer vacation.
Stop over and enter my giveaway, which includes several mystery items.

I love it! My daughters wanted to have a pool party this summer, but time just got away from us and now they’re back in school. I’ll definitely save some of those ideas for next year though. Thanks for sharing them!
I love it. I LOVE YOUR arrow sign that is so cute.
I am here from Jenn’s (Tatertots) party.

love those island pudding cups – so creative!!
You do such a wonderful job of making your kids feel special! You take simple ideas and make them extraordinary!
Can’t get over those pudding cups! What a fun party!
Did you do anything special to weight the balloons down in the pool?
We added a bit of water to each one and then filled the rest of the way with air. That way they won’t blow away.
