Buncha Birthday Parties

We went to two different birthday parties today. The first one started at 2pm and the next one started immediately after about 4 miles away. We just barely got home and it's 10pm.

Both of the parties were for kids that belong to the our Friday "play group". One of the kids was turning 4, and the other one turned 1.

But, despite what it sounds like, it was a great day because all of our friends were at both parties which meant we got to spend the day with some of our favorite people just hanging out, bbq'ing, and letting kids do kid stuff.

Someone made a train out of a bunch of old barrels, and an old riding lawn mower and the kids got rides up and down the street! Somebody decided it would be funny for all the moms to get their picture in the train too.

Finally, all the moms went down to the local "Oasis" snowcone station and bought snowcones for everyone. Have you had one of these delights? Oh. My. Gosh. My girlfriend Korina has been literally going OFF about these things for a long time and now I know why. Guys, they are not typical snowcones - they are absolutely fantabulous! I'm pretty sure the only one in the whole state is on the corner of 7200 South and Fort Union Blvd. in the Dan's grocery store parking lot (north side). If you're local and happen to be in that area, really - it is worth your while to get this:

Tiger's Blood & cream (yeah, real cream)

You won't be sorry.
