Francesca's 3rd Birthday Party

Highlights from the 1st of 3 birthday parties we went to this month, taken on May 10th. This party was for Francesca, the older daughter of Marilu's good friend, Heidi.

I think it's probably going to be a few more years before you get that right, buddy. Of course, I'm 37 and still can't hula-hoop, so don't feel bad.


A dad, a boy, and his beer.


Lucas panhandles for food from Marilu and Christine, eventually scoring a used corn on the cob.



A shot of the birthday girl and her cake. The cake was pretty clever. She's a big fan of Curious George, and the cake is a yellow hat. For those of you who live under a rock, one of the supporting characters in the series of books is George's "owner," the Man in the Yellow Hat. There's also a Curious George doll on the front side of the cake.


The next video up is Lucas on a slide. Come to think of it, this is the first and (so far) only video we have of him sliding. I'll have to get a better one since this is a little too close to the action.



Successfully traversing the treacherous slide, our intrepid adventurer poses in all his glory at the base of the summit.


Sticking with that theme, our hero rides off into the sunset on his valiant steed, Blue Rocking Horse!


And finally, he retires to the lodge for a fine afternoon of coloring. Huzzah!


Later on, at home, Lucas has his first hamburger and first ketchup. Mind you, it's all bite-size pieces, but you get the idea.

One question. Did Lucas ever put that corn on the cob in his mouth?

Ah! The man in the yellow hat! Great stories, great birthday cake!
