    Awesome ideas! My daughters 8th bday is coming up and she really wants to have a party at our local pool, however we have a hot tub at home and I know I could throw her an equally cool party at half the price (which means more money spent on presents!). Maybe if I show her some of these ideas I’ll be able to sway her. I know she will go nuts for the frozen treat bar.
