Birthday bash

E and his friend Daniel had a joint birthday party. There are five boys that tend to hang out at school together and so we thought we'd just make a dual party with them since Elam and Daniel's birthdays are less than 2 weeks apart. The boys came to our house for a movie-watching party -- hotdogs and munchies in front of Garfield 2: Tale of Two Kitties. Then we gave E and Daniel super soaker water guns and so all the boys headed to the back garden for a water fight. Fun times!

Looks like great fun. I love you face painting. Can you send those two pictures so I can pass them along to mom?

Hope YOU have a wonderful birthday. Maybe you'll get a giant water gun too!!!

Love
Dad & Alice

Scotland Yard looks like fun. What is it about? More importantly, can you buy it online?

Yeah, Scotland Yard used to be one of my favorite games as a kid...I didn't realize then that it was on the German Game of Year list (games we all love now...Settlers of Catan, Ticket to Ride, etc). When I was reminded of it, I thought it would be fun to get for Elam.
It's a detectives vs. Mr. X (the bad guy) race. Mr. X (one player) moves secretly around the board revealing his position at certain points and the rest of the players (detectives) are trying to chase him down.
I got ours on Amazon.co.uk but I'm sure Amazon.com would have it too.
