Catching a rocket balloon at Isaac's 5th birthday party. Rich and Katie took charge of the games and the party in general and did a tremendous job. They launched rockets with Alka-Seltzer and film canisters, threw rocket balloons filled partly with lentils, and launched rocket balloons attached to drinking straws along long pink strings.
Thanks to Grandma Cutler who made the fabulous ROCKET cake with Isaac's help (and only one tantrum).
Russell was pretty glum at Isaac's party until he got to hold the empty pinata. He carried it around for days, blasting it off everywhere. I'm still cleaning up the orange and yellow streamers . . .
