Rocketship Party

Millie's party was fun, as always, and (because I'm lazy) unfestooned by theme or Martha, the children provided their own color in the form of swordfights, swinging, running, and the like. Balloons were present, too, though perhaps not in such great numbers as last year.

None of these pictures were taken by me, with the exception of the first two, though I did find them on my camera after the party. Credit given after each photo...

A careless wind blew out the candles before the engines were lit. Millie found this comical.

Lots of sword fighting-- Caleb seems to feature in all of them, and he proved himself an expert swordsman. So did Cassie, although it was her first time in such a duel. (Swordfight photos by Cadie)
