Julia turned 11. Sara went slightly overboard on presents. Leeann was in town
again! And most importantly Julia contributed to her own birthday.

Birthday prep: piñata
|
In addition to making her own piñata, Julia made rainbow Jell-O which we served
with leftover ice-cream cake for the Gray's on the day after her
birthday. She also influenced several gifts while yard-sailing with Sara.
The piñata string snapped before the piñata broke so the kids decided that baseball was the
best way to finish the job.

The plethora of gifts arrived only 2 weeks after a haul from Summer Santa |

Julia's cake

- Most players within 5 feet of the ball
- Referee not paying attention
- Kids asking when they could eat treats
- One kid looking at bugs instead of focusing on the game
- Doug asking how much time is left
