We had a great time celebrating A's birthday party at the beach with about 50 other folks. The kids enjoyed playing in the sand and the waves. I think they even liked the fish cupcakes. Alethia was to content to eat cake and play in the sand. She didn't even open presents until we were back home - and just one family was with us. It is tradition here to not open presents in front of your guest. Check out the link. Enjoy....
