20100618 Monica has friends over for a party

So this was Monica's "official" birthday party, with some friends over for volleyball, pool, snacks and a cake Monica made herself (I think it was the Xmas gift cake from Deavers)



I'm really doing lousy with keeping up the non-stop, paparazzi-style photographic journaling and took only this one picture of the whole shebang.

Monica loves the riding mower.

While I'm sidelined, Monica trims

And Connie mows (she's so "green" it's amazing--me, I likey my CO2-belching rider)

and with neighbor's help, sets up trampoline

They needed no Daddy help to figure the frame's puzzle out...

Stretching on the canvas with the spings

Apparently, it took a lot out of James...
