Our grandson just cruised into age 9, complete with a
party of thirteen other 9 year-olds in the backyard (God bless his brave mother and father), all in a
Harry Potter theme.
A neighbor’s popcorn machine, a home-crafted photo booth, a game or two to work off energy, and then a movie projected on a screen outside. I’m glad home birthday parties haven’t been completely eclipsed by expensive events at commercial venues.

We had
visited the day before, to hand out gifts and hugs.
All those rearing horses and headdress-laden chiefs were so
popular that soon even the very cool 14 year-old, freshman in high school
brother was out there, setting up camps and skirmishes.
The very best things defy fashion changes don't they?
ReplyDeleteI remember sets of cowboys and indians, they had to be bought separately in plastic bags of about a dozen at a time, and a fort could also be bought, but we made our own out of small tree branches, almost twig sized and tied them together with string.
ReplyDeleteNice place to show a movie. I like the cowboys and indians, too. :-)
ReplyDeleteI remember toys like that.
ReplyDeleteBut ... are we connecting at all? I just want to know.
the old toys are the best
ReplyDeleteIsn't it cool that even the most old-fashioned toys sometimes get the most attention?
