Marcus's 4th Birthday Party!

Claire and I were in town for Marcus's 4th birthday and his party. The party was at Aunt Ginny's ranch, and it was a gorgeous day to be outside! Everyone had lots and lots of fun!

We played games:
The Penny Toss


Tug of War
Water Gun Fight

Pass the Bursting Water Ball, but Don't Get Wet!


Pinata Time!
After all the kids had a few turns, and it still wasn't broken, Jennifer took a few swings at the pinata. -- Too bad Ginny had it on the ground!! Jennifer couldn't find it for a while!

Claire had a wonderful time eating dirt, playing in the dirt, and just getting dirty. Way to go, girl!



She also LOVED playing with this rope. It kept her occupied for a LONG time!


Claire squares off with Midnight!

Marcus and Taylor had fun hanging around.



And we got to ride horses! I love riding horses!!!

Then, Marcus was ready for his cake.

First he blew out the candles, and then he tried to blow out the sparkler, (but it went out on its own!)


Finally, it was time for presents.
I had a fun time at the party! Happy Birthday, Marcus! (And thank you, Laura, for taking most of these pictures!)
