Race Car Baby Shower.

Remember these cute little baby shower invitations?

The shower was Memorial Day weekend in Indianapolis. Also, Indy 500 weekend. Indianapolis has a great little historic area called Broadripple. It's hip. It's fun. It's young. Our friends Brooke and JD hosted at their humble abode...which they completely restored and have made a wonderful home for themselves and little one, Jackson.

 

Brooke surprised everyone with the cutest baby shower cake I have ever seen......this was $60. Really? You can't get a sheet cake from Wal-Mart for that little.

Here's a little tip for party planning outdoors... use double-sided tape along the edge of your tables to keep table clothes from flying away.

We played awesome games too - bottle chugging. A lot harder than it looks. Just 2 oz. took 3 minutes or so.

And a relay race. For this one, we filled up water balloons and had the guys walk down to a table where their relay partner/wife/girlfriend waited for them to get there without popping the balloon.

Once at the table, the ladies had to feed the baby, change the baby, diaper the baby and put it in a stroller for the guys to run back across the finish line.

Above: Ricka explaining what things are to Justin - classic. These were little teepees - used for boys when changing so you don't get a little surprise.

We had a blast showering Justin and Ricka with gifts and fun. They will make great parents to their little boy, and everyone is thrilled to meet him...if he will ever come out to join us!
