We stopped by the dollar store on the way from my house to Jim's before the party, and picked up balloons and some streamers. What's a birthday party without some balloons? | ||||
| Of course, we had our cameras out, documenting all of our preparations |

DO and Mike arrived soon and helped us with the last of the balloons |

When Linda, Kerrie, and Kayle showed up, they had a present for Jim even though it was Kayle's birthday - a new ball for the pool. | ||||
| Linda brought along a large tank of helium for the balloons. We only sucked up a little bit of it and talked in that funny voice. MouseOver Smiling CloseUp |  |

| Everyone enjoyed the great HOT weather (last year's attempt at Kayle's party was a washout since it was rainy and COLD!) | |||||

|
Going inside to keep the cake and ice cream ready, I grabbed some pictures from the PoolCam. You can see us playing the balls, and DO getting into the pool after rescueing all the balls that had gotten out of the pool.

Yummy! | ||||
| Getting ready to blow out the candles! |  |

Happy Birthday Kayle! | ||||

| Near the end of the party, we took a bunch of the helium balloons out and set them "free". See if you can find the balloons in the picture. When you mouseover them, you'll get a closeup of the last four as they drifted away into the bright blue sky. |  |
