Thomas Birthday Party--he's (almost) 11

We had Thomas' birthday party on Sunday, the 16th. Here he is (somewhere under the hair) blowing out the candles on his cake. I am betting he wished for a trip to Japan to go to the Pokemon store where, according to him, people get to play all the pokemon games they want in giant ball pits, are surrounded by dozens of tvs each showing a different pokemon show or movie, and get handed free pokemon stuffies by people dressed up as giant pokemons. Who wouldn't want to go?
Check it out--you can actually see the candle smoke. I'm loving this new camera!
Everyone smiling and all at the same time. [Kid in back on the left is visiting cousin Jimmy. He is sporting the latest hair craze, the "Zac Ephron." Thomas's hair style is simply known as the "never comb it and let the pool chlorine do the rest".]
Here is our resident shy woodland creature in his tree house enjoying the paper streamers (which then got rained on, bled the dyes into our pool and are now very slowly decomposing in our tree branches).

Cake looks yummy. The smiles suggest it was. The woodland creature looks very gentle.

Candles and chlorine hair don't mix. I think it is a grandparent's role to think about the most horrid disaster that could possibly happen and get in some solid worrying about it. Fortunately nobody ever takes any notice ...
