A 5 year old’s birthday party and 400 water balloons!

Summer birthday parties can be so much fun. Give kids a pool, slip n slide and 400 water balloons and they are HAPPY!

My wonderful readers let me know about a GREAT company, Wet Will E Water Balloons based out of Rockton. When I found out that they would deliver filled water balloons for a VERY reasonable cost, just $10 per 100 plus a $5 delivery fee , I was SOLD! I did NOT want to fill those up all by myself! (Delivery in the Rockford/DeKalb area; see their site for specifics. And guess what? Do you live outside of the delivery area? They SHIP!!! You can check out the specifics here.  One thing I LOVE is that they donate a portion of their profit to charity ( and if you have been following me for any amount of time you know how I feel about the importance of giving back to your community!)

I had 400 balloons delivered on Friday for the party on Sunday. I was a little concerned as to how I was going to store these! Well it is SO easy. They come prefilled in these cool tubes.

I just laid them along the edge of my garage and they were out of the way! A few of them did pop but when I say a few I mean maybe 8 out the whole batch!

Its safe to say the kids had a BLAST!!! My son even got in on the action

The kids just couldn’t throw hard enough to break them…so they figured out that they could just break them over each other’s heads!

And its always fun to gang up on big brother!

The water balloons were a BIG success! Thank you so much Wet Will E Water Balloons! I strongly suggest you give them a try for your next outdoor event. So easy and so much fun!!! You can check the out on their website or follow them on Facebook here
