Someone's Four

In Portland for the weekend.  Things are really blooming here.
R&J's Azalea and Rhododendron in the background.
First and only bloom on the Rhododendron but tons of buds just a few days off.
The whole town is busting out in flower.

Tomorrow I hang a new front door for Ryan & Judy.  Hope to have pictures before we head back.

Meanwhile, someone turned four.  Had a party at the Children's Gym.  An old auto dealership converted to a gymnastics school.
 That is one long trampoline
The "bar room" had about six sets of bars.
Louis wasn't impressed.

Then there were cupcakes.  


There was quite a variety of methods for attacking them.
And then there was just one candle left.
And pin the ear on the Kitty.
Louis was still unimpressed.

Check in tomorrow for those always exciting door pics.
