To Be a Kid Again, Just for an Afternoon

How often do you hear someone say, "oh, I wish I could be a kid again?" Some of us had that opportunity last Sunday. In celebration of Carol's birthday, we rented Brincolines, a kiddie eventos place in our neighborhood. The group gathered before the arrival of Carol and George. While waiting, some played on the playground.

Some just chatted while waiting, such as Dale, Joan, and Angie.

There were games and some showed us how to hula hoop, including the birthday girl.

Barbara is getting ready to demonstrate.

There was face painting.

Some were even "hot"!

Some were dainty.

Most were patient.

Some chose not to participate.

There were games, including an extremely competitive round of musical chairs.

Dish stacking.

We played dress up and danced.

The theme of the party was "Las Princesas" so the princess tossed the pinata.

Everyone scrambled for the goodies.

It was time for the cake to be served so the birthday girl made a brief speach.

There were presents, including a bow to wear with her birthday suit.

She also received a beautiful black wig.

On Monday night, the celebration continued at the Villa Rosa; however, Carol chose not to don any of her gifts, including the black wig. Carol's friends who had been at the previous party looked a little different also.

Carol's birthday ended without any broken bones or other injuries. Hopefully she felt very special and this will be long remembered. It gave us an opportunity to be kids again; which was a treat for all of us. Carol, thanks so much for all that you do for so many of us.

Until next time,

Mick and Kathy
