The slide is back

Our next door neighbors held their annual joint birthday party for their daughters in May, and as always, Claire and Will had a fabulous time - pretty easy to do with pony rides, pinatas, a water slide, a balloon artist, and cake & ice cream!  This year Will was big enough to try the giant inflatable water slide, and he absolutely loved it - he would get out of the little pool and immediately run around to get in line again.

They also had an amazing balloon artist.  Will got a sword balloon, and almost immediately popped it.  When he went back, the guy asked him what he wanted, and he said "A dragon!"  The guy just said "OK" and started making one of the most elaborate balloon animals we'd ever seen.  It was a terrific dragon, and Will was really careful with it - it lasted about a week.  It was such a fun afternoon!
