Caleb's birthday party





Great fun, despite the sweltering weather. The kids ran around playing, they had to be cajoled to eat lunch (first photo above). Then we played games (some carnival style, some not) - dime toss, shoot hoops, kick the soccer ball, and others (our friend Nicki is playing Toss Across, while our friend Megan looks on). All the grown ups helped out (the bowling photo is our friend Linda with Megan -again- looking on). Then it was time to cash in their tickets - Matt had arranged the prize table and he was in charge of the redemption process (in the photo, Caleb is deciding on his prizes while his friends wait in line behind him). Then we had an ice cream sundae bar with over a dozen toppings to choose from. Then Caleb opened presents (in the photo, Grandma helps while Phillip looks on). He got 5 new Webkinz, including a turtle, an elephant and a koala bear (which is what Alana picked out for him, mostly because she covets it for herself). It really went well, everyone had a good time. The last photo shows Caleb and his friend Jonah playing with another one of Caleb's gifts - Super Soaker water guns.
