The Big Bash

We're on track for big birthday celebrations every other year now.  I think I can handle that schedule.  At the last minute, with much encouragement from the youngest member of our household, we sent out invitations for a Backyard Birthday BBQ.  FFM got to make his own guest list and it was creative and varied.

After nixing Thomas we agreed on "Rainbow Stars" as a party theme.  I promised lots of stars and colorful balloons.

 It was warm enough for the much anticipated slip and slide and water hopscotch.

 Hopscotch was a huge hit!

 Lunch with pals.  F's pals were not all pint sized, about half the guest list included his favorite adults.

 Yum!  What a perfect day we had.

 No hot weather summer party is complete without a water balloon fight...

 And of course a totally indestructible rainbow star pinata.  Julia was our star hitter, watch out major leagues, here she comes!

Thank you to all our friends who came out to celebrate with us, it was a great day.
