Well, we lived through yet another grandkid birthday. Carly turned 2 during the week, and a crowd of about 40 fans and family gathered in a park close to her home to enjoy BBQ, cupcakes, blowing bubbles, water balloons and a tropical 97 degree not-yet-summer day!

Carly about to DESTROY her birthday train cake!

Wendy had another flash as well. So from now on, her friend Tippy the traveling Elephant will be bringing a Tip Of The Day. Look for these sprinkled around the blog from time to time. And don’t be shy about offering your own! If we like them, we’ll put them out with ours as well!
