The Bunny

This is the bunny whose birthday was celebrated so thoroughly.

Boat Adventures

The telescopes were a popular party favor. But they also caused controversy because 1) they were not waterproof, and 2) they were all the same, so there was some arguing about which one belonged to which kid and so on.

Pool Time

Zoe is riding a whale, while most of the other kids are feeding a swan. Max is in the boat.

A Scowl

Zoe gave Jen this high-quality scowl.

Pinata Aftermath

The pinata was finally opened with a blow by Chloe. Switching from a plastic bat to a metal rod sped things up, but increased the risk factor a bit. It was one tough pinata.

Pinata

Zoe took the first crack at the pinata.

Followed by Max.

And Chloe.

And Ian.

Friends from School or something

Chris and Kate are the parents of Alexa and Ian. Alexa is in Zoe's class, and Ian will probably end up in Annie's class. Chris brought most of the food to the party.

Friends from the past

Bob and I worked together in Hawaii, and link up when possible. Which coincided with the bunny birthday party this time. Carlen and I worked together in Iraq for a few days, and she could not refuse an invitation to the party.

Cake

Of course there was cake from Giant at the party. Charm City Cakes are just too expensive.

Party Hats

Zoe and Annie were getting in to the spirit of the bunnies' birthday party.

Play-Doh

Annie and Zoe made some decorations for the window, using Play-Doh. I think they got the idea from Design on a Dime.

Two Bunnies

So these bunnies misread the invitation. Zoe's bunny's birthday party is not until tomorrow, but these fellows came by a few days ago.

Soup

Jen is trying to defend her soup from Little Boy.

Treadmill

Jen got a treadmill for Mother's Day, and the girls tried it out to make sure it is safe.

Grass

This is the grass we planted as of 09 May.

Took this one with the phone, so the photo is not as clear. But, here is Zoe's friend Max helping out the singer at the post - parade festival.

Jen and Zoe in the Parade

Jen and Zoe marched in the parade with Zoe's school.

Penguin
