Just Among Friends
Sharks were everywhere at Wyatt Little's 5th birthday party on Sunday, August 1st, but his guests were not fazed by the sight! Since it was a swimming party, some type of aquatic life was to be expected.
A big yellow warning sign alerted everyone to "Beware, Great White Sharks"! Tables covered in blue cloths resembling water held all kinds of goodies- treat bags that were shark heads with their sharp teeth showing, Shark heads rising out of the water decorated the table. A tray of frosted cookies was served from the dining table. A magnificent birthday cake iced in blue with a shark's head emerging from the top layer was an eye catching centerpiece. A huge Happy Birthday banner flanked on each side with a shark, welcomed the children to these yummy treats.
A very excited Wyatt opened the many presents which his guests had brought. Everyone loved to see what was inside each package and exclaimed along with Wyatt. After opening gifts, Wyatt and his guests proceeded to the swimming pool area which had gates with a yellow warning sign on each gate,
"Beware of Great White Sharks". The word "shark" made of inflatable letters hung above the gates to the pool area. Colorful pool toys floated on the blue water. It was a beautiful day for pool fun supervised by watchful adults. It appears that this precious little boy had a very special birthday party! His parents are Barrett and Kelly Dansby Little and his younger brother is Whitt. Also attending were his grandparents, Steve and Deena Dansby.
