A Celebration of Three Years

Liam's third birthday was superhero themed.  The balloons, plates, napkins, cakes and assorted novelty items paid homage to our nation's animated peacekeepers.

It was very cold and very wet.  Kid's still bounced.  Many likely got sick.   

Everyone ate cake. 

People wore children while making capes and masks at the "Build Your Own Cape & Mask Station"

The youths slapped around an overly-well built pinata.   

I made conversation and solid eye contact with this beer. 

And that was about it.  The next day the weather was better and Liam continued to party.

He bounced for about three hours.

Drove around his new car.

And ate dinner at Papasito's where he was presented with a large hat and festive song.

Thank you to everyone that helped him celebrate.  He had an amazing time and is incredibly grateful for all of the cards, gifts and attention.   

Battling a Ditch Monster

This video is about a month old but I figured it deserved a place on the internet.

Two minutes and thirty seconds into this thrill ride of a YouTube, gator wranglers snag a primordial giant, lasso the nose, drag it onto shore and tie it to a tree.   

For those of you without the time or patience for a YouTube, here's a picture of Rachel bidding the beast adieu.
