Out and About
Patrick captured some cute images today with my camera.  We were at Mariel's friend's birthday party.  He was turning 5 and had it a Bounce U, where they have all sorts of crazy inflatable games and things.  Personally, it was not my cup of tea... but then again, I am not a preschooler at a party.  I am sure that my 4 year old self would have loved it.  In honor of the event, Mariel even dressed herself in her "sporty" outfit.  Not a hint of pink, so it might be hard to recognize her.  All of the kids had a great time.  Noella was also pretty excited, although she needed me with her to go on the various play things.
In the tunnel
Down the slide (what we thought was the big slide...)
Noella loved all of the slides!  I just had a hard time climbing up the kid sized inflatable chutes to get there.
This is not quite as steep and long as the photography makes it look... but it was pretty high!  This was in the second room, after Mariel mastered the other slides, and invovled climbing like a spider monkey through several layers of nets to get to the top.  I did not go on this one!

The birthday party assembled (or at least those who could be herded together).
