Kyla’s Final Fifth

9-10 Fishing (tom's camera) 049

I’ve never thrown a kid birthday party before.  For Kyla’s fifth birthday, she wanted to have a party with her friends.  And she wanted to go fishing. 

Luckily, just down the street from us is a trout farm.  Small, shallow pond, lots of hungry fish.  It was quite successful.

We just invited the “big kids” from playgroup and their dads, because, really, a 1:1 ratio was a pretty good idea.  Piper was made an honorary 5-year-old and she and I fished together.

I think all of Kyla’s dreams about fishing came true.

Our dead fish are in those bags.

I face-painted while all the dads grilled the trout.

And look at this awesome cake!  My friend has recently gotten into cake making/decorating.  She found some ideas for fish cakes and tweaked it to get it just right for Kyla.  Those M&M pieces were devoured quickly!
