It wasn’t supposed to rain… but it did 🙁 BUT, almost everyone still came and our family and friends did a great job pitching in to make the party a success. I can’t believe that Simon is 4 years old! Happy Birthday to my little man!

Here are some select photos. We held the party at the North Temescal Picnic Area where we had good coverage from one tree but the rain was still pretty strong off and on. Ron had to run to Home Depot this morning to buy the canopies for some coverage from the rain. We had Magician Mike Della Penna come perform for the party and it seems like the kids (and adults) had a great time! Simon participated in a special magic trick with the magician where he produced lollipops for everyone. We set up some carnival games for the kids: pin on the silly mustache, magnetic fishing, banana bean bag toss, and beading. There was supposed to be sack races and egg spoon races and coloring and cookie decorating but didn’t work out because of the weather.

Thank you so much to everyone who came out in the rain to celebrate with us! Next time I won’t trust the weather report… I’ve learned my lesson.

Here is a slideshow of more photos. In the craziness of the morning, I didn’t take many photos myself so these are mostly from Grandpa Chung.

It was much better to get home and be warm and open presents! We’ll be sending thank you notes shortly…
