Yesterday was granddaughter Leya's third birthday party, held at a local bouncing party emporium filled with inflatable slides, bouncing cages, and all sorts of other opportunities for small children to work off excess energy, followed by pizza and cake in the party room. We didn't have things like this when I was growing up. We played party games like "Pin the Tail on the Stegosaurus" and "Rock, Rock, Rock" (we didn't have paper and scissors until I was in high school).
Here are a few pictures of the fun ...
It's good to be the Queen!
It's a long way down...
But it's fun when you get there...
Even Opa thinks so ...
What happens when 75 parents try to take a group picture and everyone says "Look at the camera!" at once ...
The cake was really good ...
But, of course, not everybody likes cake or pizza ...
Balloons for everybody!
It's nice that Leya has so many friends and so many opportunities to have fun. She'll grow up to be a jaded adult like her Opa all too soon ... for now, though, life is good. As it should be when you're three.
Have a good day. Try an inflatable slide sometime, it's fun!
More thoughts tomorrow.

Hey WOW! That looked like an awesome party for a beautiful 3 year old.
ReplyDeleteSince Aaron was born, I've come to think that little kids birthday parties are more fun than adult ones.
Now that looks like a fun party! When I was little the cool place for parties was Chuck E. Cheese :)
ReplyDeleteMy blogs b-day festivities have started...there will be a mix posted later.
The kids look like they had a great time. I could have gone all day without seeing that particular shot of Opa.

ReplyDeleteLeya is so beautiful! (as is her foot-tasting baby sister!) It looks like Opa had as good a time as everyone else. :)
