As for the kids, as usual the stomp rocket was a hit. They will jump on this thing, shooting the rocket into the air for hours upon hours. Here's Pip showing how it's done:
We also re-furbished Pip's birthday pinata for the party with a little tape. This time there were older kids who knew the deal (and after the first round a real steel bat) so it went much faster. The intensity of the candy scramble was also something to witness, sort of like sharks to chum. At least we got rid of lots of Pip's candy from the house. Here's a pre-strike shot of the kids lined up for their turns.
Vivian spent most of the party showing off her walking skills. She was impressive all day. She also tried her hand at lacrosse, of course.
It got chilly once the sun went down, so our neighbor Don rolled out a fire pit on wheels. Tremendous idea. I'm adding this to my invention list. His is makeshift, but fire safety be damned, I think a professional version warrants mass production. Anyway, here's it in action making smores:
