Rohan turned 4 last week. We celebrated at The Little Gym in Avon, Connecticut.
We arrived a little early to set up. The folks at The Little Gym helped put the balloons up and had the place ready for our guests. The cake, made by the Big Y bakery, was of Lightning McQueen, a character from the Pixar & Disney movie, Cars. Rohan is NUTS about the movie and knows some of the dialogue by-heart. The part where Tow Mater asks Lightning McQueen if his name is "Mater" too cracks us both up. I don't know if it is the Southern-drawl or just the fact that Rohan likes Tow Mater's sense of surprise. If you haven't seen it, well you are missing a fine movie that also includes the voice of the late Paul Newman, as Doc Hudson.
To our relatives who drove for miles and for Rohan's friends and their parents who dragged themselves out of bed on a Sunday to be with us, our sincere thanks. Sangeetha and I were happy with such a terrific turn out. We missed a few of Rohan's buddies but as I told one of them, there is always next year, right?
A special thank you to Nick and Sabrina O'Connell. Nick's ability to quickly create animals and objects out of balloons is something to beholld. His warm and friendly personality was greatly appreciated by kids and parents alike. His wife, Sabrina's brief puppet presentation had the kids in enthralled. It was great to see their kids Maya and Thatcher, too.
Here are a few images I managed to capture. I was happy to have carried some of my gear (one camera body, one lens, one light triggered by Pocket Wizards). Post your comments below! |
