To Collin's Birthday Party
Kelsey loves the pony ride
Collin stayed in the petting zoo for about an hour...
He especially liked the ducks and chicks and of course wants one now... maybe if they didn't grow to be chickens - hmmm. I wonder what my neighbors would think of that one
Collin had fun talking to the 'guys' and trying out all the stuff... I'm so used to going to all the Latin American stuff with my blond little gringo it was kind of fun to go to the Celtic festival -- with names like Collin & Kelsey we actually fit right in.

They tried out the tent, played some of the games, the bed and I think Kelsey even tried some of their stale bread before I could stop her - yuck
They met this fun, crazy, lady who taught about herbs and games from the era. She even had a couple of catapults that she would use to shoot beans at her fellow costumed workers (I'm sure they loved that - though at this point they pretty much just ignored her :)
Collin has been involved with the Ballet Folklorico at school again this year. Most of them stop in November after the school performance but Collin's group continued and learned 3 new dances. They practice every Thursday after school. They were asked to participate in this churches fund raiser for Cnco de Mayo.
They really do a great job! (Only 2 more performances this year...)
We are lucky to have the only "hill" on our block...
Kelsey just uses it as a slide - she'll even run up, like the other kids, then sit down and push herself with her hands

Collin got a little daring...
but luckily didn't kill himself. I was there to nix some of the more "creative" ideas he and his friend came up with...
