Sunday Snapshot: a 7 year old's birthday party

I thought I would join the Sunday Snapshot fun over at Ni Hao Y'all.

He wanted a "movie party" at home. We compromised with a fe'te - which is a carnival in aus speak. 15 children. big kids ran the games. it was about 95 degrees out.
As the children arrived they received tickets to play games in the front garden.

golfing. the fish pond. jump on the trampoline. and elijah's favorite: smash the big brother with water balloons.

Let's have a little cartoon break in the movie theatre.
