Steve and Lea Ann were kind enough to invite us to their house to celebrate. We got there just after noon. Almost immediately, R wanted to take David out on a 2-hour trek to the playgrounds, which gave Kathy, Steve, Lea Ann and Mr. and Mrs. B a chance to chat and finish preparing dinner in a more relaxed manner.
Dinner was scrumptious. While Kathy digested, Steve, R and David sneaked upstairs and blew up 50 balloons. We got Kathy out to the great room (R calls it the "grape room") and Steve brought up the surprise birthday cake.
After a rousing song of "Happy," a torrent of balloons rained down from the balcony above the great room. It wasn't clear whether R had more fun throwing the balloons down onto Kathy, or coming down and pelting her with them after they were all over the floor!
Everyone eventually got into the act, and we all played what R calls "pop the balloon," which, in fact, became more of a game of "monkey in the middle." We won't reveal who was the monkey. Mr. and Mrs. B kept the balloons flying, along with Steve, Lea Ann, Kathy and David, while R jumped and thumped and whallumped all over the room as he chased the flying balloons!
A good time was had by all! We can't for Pollyanna Party in December.
