...was totally fun. Yummy food, whole fambly together. Zachy played with me on the swings, and he's usually pretty shy with me. We played with bubbles and water shooters (not "guns" or "pistols"...little dolphin-shaped shooters). We also played with sparklers, and wrote stuff in the air and took long-exposure pix. And of course cake and presents.

A few highlight pix below. The whole set is here (click).

Zach ringing Alev's bell...


Dad getting squirted...
