Birthday, A Faire, Frisbee Golf, Fashion, and a Kitty

So Cassie is 12 now (almost a teenager, as she likes to remind anyone with ears) and she had her birthday party at Roll-On-America (can't believe that place is still open!), so I took some pictures...

The kids were in a "private room" (they ditched a ton of the old, awesome arcade games for this place) called the Aqua Lounge. The fish in thsi room were pretty crazy looking...

Mum and I sat out for the second round of Laser Tag, and I took some pictures of the cool lights that were flashing all over the place.

Cassie's cake. That frosting looks delicious, but at the same time, it makes my teeth hurt just thinking about all the sugar!

Kerri, myself, and Tim at King Richard's. This is really the only picture I had taken of us. I was glad Tim dressed up this year.

The dragonflies were, as usual, excellent subjects. As long as there's a nice patch of sun, they really let you get up in their faces for photos! They kinda freak me out, but at the same time are fascinating.

Every year (well, this is the second year) Dad hosts a Frisbee Golf Tournament at his place (he has an 18 hole course) and this year Tim and I attended. Tim entered the lists, while I just followed our group around taking pictures. We had a really good time! (Tim came in second to last.)

The sweatshirt I got. Pretty cool, eh? Everyone who played got a t-shirt, and then extra t-shirts and sweatshirts were available. The guy had a silk-screener right on his truck! It was pretty awesome to watch.

The first hole...Dad is SO intense when he's throwing. Tim has some nice form going on (though his first shot didn't go that great. He got the hang of it eventually and had some really great holes!)

I also found lots of interesting flowers and mushrooms around Dad's land that I'd never noticed before.

That was a good shot for Tim.

Ew, a slug! I almost didn't notice it at first, because, as you can see, it blends in fairly well. But then it started moving a little. I was grossed out, but totally had to take a picture.

Very intense frisbee hurling going on here. I don't know if you can see it (you might have to click to enlarge the picture), but Dad has a really intense face going on. ;D

I believe Dad came in third overall.

So many different kinds of mushrooms! Maybe someday I'll try to figure out what kinds they are, and if they're safe to eat.

Really intense shots of all the guys in our group. I really love these. ^_^

And more adorable little mushrooms!

I spent the day with Sue, and she bought me an adorable hat and boots! Then I bought myself a hat (the plaid one) while we were at Target. Now that I have this awesome haircut, I feel more comfortable in hats.

The boots were love at first sight! Thanks again Suzie!

Artemis had a really good time in the DSW bag...

And lastly, a haiku:

New hat and new boots,

Shopping, laughing, talking, but

no fun for dead frogs.
