so we had planned to have it at a liberty park in salt lake. When I went there to set up, there was an event there. Some outdoor concert & lots of hacky sack going on. Any other day...this park would have been great. It's a huge park and has tons of tables and grills and such. Even on a busy saturday, they never all fill up. I have never had a problem before....so I didn't even think of reserving a spot. Though I kept wishing I had. We were going to cook hamburgers and hot dogs. The party started at 6pm. I went at 4:30 to start setting up. I had everything in the car for the party, the food, cake, decorations, etc. Lily's birthday outfit. I couldn't find parking just for me....and found some tables but no grills. So I called caleb, we decided we needed to find a new park and we still needed a grill. Caleb went to the store see if he could buy one of those charcoal grills. Well, he would still have to put the grill together and get coals heating for the party....no time for that. And we still didn't have a spot for the party. So at 5:50, we decided on Sugarhouse park....no tables or grills, but a beautiful park. Caleb brought 1 table from the store to put the food on. we had no chairs and no grill. Caleb picked up $5 pizzas at little ceasars. we ate pizza and the fruit and salads that I had bought. There was no time to put up all the decorations and I forgot to put lily in her cute "1" shirt, but she was wearing one of my favorite dresses, so that's okay. I was totally stressing, but it all worked out. No one seemed to mind that we changed locations. I get really worked up when I plan things and they don't work out just as planned....I need to work on that :) Whew..the party wasn't just as I had imagined, but turned out to be a success in the end. we had a great time. I sure LOVE that lily so much!
