I decided when you turn seven in our family you switch from a giant family party to a small friend's party. We kept it simple and fun. Augustine chose a handful of friends and a dolphin theme because he loves the movie Dolphin Tale. (We usually celebrate his birthday early due to school starting...both elementary and college.)
Unfortunately, Lewis came down with strep throat the night before, so we sent him to Grandma's and had most of the festivities in the backyard. Thank goodness for grandmas and nice weather!
We made sensory bottles that are a game. The rings slowly float down when you turn them over and you try to ring them on the golf tee. I got little dolphins to put inside too, but they interfere with playing the game, so we left them out for bathtub fun at home. 
As always, Grandma Susan made a lovely, delicious cake! One of the kids said, "That is a perfect cake!" and she was very right. Complete with blue waves inside the white cake, and an ice cream center.
Happy early birthday Augustine! We love you!
