party time

Owen choose an airplane theme for his 7th birthday party.  Richard found the paperware online and Bursts made chocolate airplanes for the cupcakes.  We hung up planes over the table outside and I made a watermelon airplane bowl.  Richard came up with some games- flying planes through a hoop, make your own stomp rockets, and throwing parachute guys at a targets.

Owens friends from school came as well as our family friends.  Unfortunately Susie and Laurel were sick so they missed the party.   We all had a great time playing in the backyard, the playrooms and the new sandbox, throwing planes and parachutes.  The cupcakes made everyones faces and fingers a lovely shade of blue.  It was great for Owen to get to spend time with his school friends again, since they haven't seen each other since June.  All in all, a successful celebration to ring in a new year of Owen.
