Ian enjoying floor time in the green room

A great 3rd birthday!

Haylie enjoyed a fun time at "Pump It Up" which features all things bouncy and slidey (new word). She preferred to mingle with her guests while they were on the ground rather than when they were airborne. From all the shrieks and smiles it was obvious that the toddlers and tweens had a great time.

Did you catch that dad? Hannah expresses exhilaration after the giant slide!

I'm taking notes on this for future reference!

Hannaha asures Haylie that it is great fun

I'm keeping my shoes on which means that I can 't go in, right?

Yes, Uncle Mark/Dad/Mark just had to try one of the giant slides. He loved it!

Joshua entered right into the fun and aced the big slides!

Haylie took a wait and see approach to the big slides. Maybe next time . . .

Oma, do we really have to wait?

Ooohh, everybody is watching me. I feel so silly.

I know this is the birthday candle but I AM the birthday girl, right?

Haylie is obviously delighted with the arrival of the pizza

Haylie and Christina (Tina) share the birthday throne

Hannah is a real outdoorsy girl!

Hey Dad, I finished my lunch!

Haylie picked lots of pretty azaleas . . .

. . . and here's where they wound up!

Haylie manages to contain Ian for a quick shot.

Maybe this is the better way to "hold him".

The girl cousins ham it up at Mark's birthday luncheon at Olive Garden . . .

. . . while Mark and Joshua strike a more sedate pose!

OUTSIDE is Haylie's favorite place.

I'm ready, let's go!

Okay, what song would you like to hear?
