Dragon Boy picked up his "light sabre" as a souvenir. It's still going strong on the same batteries! Wow, a circus toy that lasts! Tiger opted for an inflatable unicorn, and it deflated overnight. Oh well.
As part of the intermission fun, the kids got to pick one attraction. Dragon Boy decided on the huge inflatable slide, while Tiger had her face painted. We were waiting in line for a chair, and realized that the two child-unencumbered women in front of us were waiting for a particular face-painter. Renaldo the Clown, apparently, is a very sexy man in his tux and top hat, but I think that's because he doesn't speak at all. *ahem* I'm sure he understands English, though, because he got this pained smirk on his face as he tried to pretend he wasn't listening. Tiger wasn't particular about who painted her face, as long as it looked like THIS.
This cake event was actually a small family fake-out. I just can't let a 40th birthday slip by without fanfare, you see. But I couldn't tell the kids, I couldn't tell the neighbours, and I most certainly had to venture into the darker shades of grey when I had to cover my tracks, as far as catering and the requirement for the kids' car seats from our single family vehicle. I don't know how I got away with it, but I managed to conceal a large potato salad, a bushel's worth of finger veggies and dips, three pounds of ground beef meatballs, and a car rental, so I could drag the kids down to the baseball park where Spock was playing with his coworkers, half of whom were in on the surprise. Thank goodness someone else got the cake! He had no idea how his children got there, until I showed up with a cake box and supper!
Damn, I'm good! :-D No pictures of that, though, because I had my hands full of everything else, plus kids.
