Cousin Charlie's Birthday Party

We went up to Albertville a couple of weeks ago for Charlie's first birthday party. It was hot and dry, but thanks to a pool and a Slip and Slide, the kids had a blast. The pool was filled that day, so Milena shows us that going into the cold water makes a person cold. Brrrr!

The pool was small, but big enough for cannonballs.

That's Eli. You have to trust me.

Milena is airborn!

Good Golly! Who let that happen?!?!?

We can't forget the man of the hour. Here Charlie gets a special Birthday Forehead Kiss from Koleman.

The Slip and Slide was fun, too. The kids are waiting nicely in line for their turn.

We took some video of the slip and slide, but there was a slight problem. If you hold the camera sideways to take the video, then the video is sideways on the computer. I don't want to make everybody tilt their monitors on the side, so I used a program to rotate the videos. Unfortunately YouTube only accepts videos in one shape, so the rotated videos were stretched to accomodate the proper rectangular dimensions.

So, long story longer, the videos are online to view, but they're not that great, so I'm not embedding them in this post. If you want to see them, you can click on the following links:

OK, that's taken care of. Here's a picture of Eli making a big splash!

And, finally, it's probably good to know that Jason has more KISS books on his shelf than Bibles (the silver book in between the two KISS books is a Gene Simmons book - it didn't come out very well in the picture). Although there is probably something meaningful about the Merck Medical Information book acting as a buffer.
