Before The Party ...

Breakfast With Oma

Daigen's Birthday Gift

The rain has finally stopped falling ...

time to get busy and build the trampoline ...

before all the kids arrive for the party ....

the ladies were watching them from inside ...

of course ... the guys forged ahead ...

(before reading the instructions) ... and started putting it together ...

only to take some of it apart again ... when it wasn't coming together  ...

Daigen wasn't aware that this was happening ...

until grandma brought him into the room ...

that was a mistake ...

while a few us were commenting on the construction process ...

Daigen disappeared ... went and put his clogs on ... and slipped out the door ...

he was not happy when mom went and brought him back in ...

but mom knew what would work to distract him ...

BUBBLES ... BUBBLES ... and more BUBBLES ..

 after the netting was fastened down and the inspection done ...

daddy had to be the first one to try it out ...

then it was time to ...

get this Birthday Party started ...
