			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8230; and it was!</p>
<p><a href="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/_dsc5763.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-220" src="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/_dsc5763.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="328" /></a></p>
<p>They came &#8211; 101 children in total!   It seemed as if the Castle Bouncer had a magnet inside!   They came from the parking lot &#8211; they spied the bouncer and they raced away from Mom and Dad &#8211; right towards the bouncer.  A huge hit!</p>
<p>This party was for all of my clients with families &#8211; in my continuing celebration of 30 years in photography!  We had a beautiful day &#8211; a bit windy &#8211; and a heavy, overcast and rainy Friday &#8211; but the Saturday of the party was beautiful. (Held on oh six, oh seven, oh eight)   We had greeters at the entrance to the park&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/002.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-222" src="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/002.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Holly was one of the greeters and checked off those that RSVP&#8217;d and she also handed out the &#8216;treat bags&#8217; (inside the storage boxes behind her).</p>
<p><a href="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/0031.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-223" src="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/0031.jpg" alt="" width="428" height="640" /></a></p>
<p>Tori assisted Holly and I think they both did a great job!</p>
<p>We had face painters&#8230; the line-ups were long!  That&#8217;s Allyssa on the left and Janelle on the right.</p>
<p><a href="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/015.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-224" src="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/015.jpg" alt="" width="344" height="404" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/0162.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-229" src="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/0162.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/016a1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-230" src="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/016a1.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/017.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-231" src="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/017.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/019.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-232" src="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/019.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/019b1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-233" src="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/019b1.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="298" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/023.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-234" src="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/023.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Babies too little to enjoy the events came as well&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/025.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-235" src="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/025.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/004.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-236" src="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/004.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>The playground was also well utilized.</p>
<p><a href="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/005.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-237" src="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/005.jpg" alt="" width="268" height="459" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/014.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-238" src="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/014.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Thats Carey &#8211; the Balloon Artist &#8211; kids were lining up and keeping him busy the entire time (oh, except for a bit when he took a break to eat).</p>
<p><a href="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/012.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-239" src="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/012.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/014d.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-240" src="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/014d.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/014a.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-241" src="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/014a.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="400" /></a></p>
<p>Oh yes &#8211; these are the two ladies that made all this happen.  Barb (office manager) and Janie (sister and party planner extraordinaire!).</p>
<p><a href="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/027.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-242" src="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/027.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="339" /></a></p>
<p>I also had the help of another sister, Val &#8211; but she&#8217;s kind of camera shy.</p>
<p>The canteen was kept busy.  We served hotdogs with fresh baked buns from Sobeys &#8211; chips &#8211; ice cream treats and freezees and bottled water and pop and for those that were inclined on such a warm day &#8211; coffee!   I don&#8217;t think anyone left hungry!</p>
<p><a href="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/028.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-243" src="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/028.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/027a.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-244" src="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/027a.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/036.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-245" src="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/036.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Oh yes &#8211; one lucky girl was celebrating her birthday that day &#8211; and I made sure her family got some special treats!  Hope you had a fabulous day, Kamryn!</p>
<p><a href="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/037.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-246" src="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/037.jpg" alt="" width="247" height="440" /></a></p>
<p>Young and old enjoyed the ice cream treats (I&#8217;m not calling you old Jonathan!) &#8211; you can&#8217;t see it &#8211; but he got his face painted as well and he had an ice cream revel painted on his cheek!</p>
<p><a href="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/037a.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-247" src="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/037a.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Back to the bouncer &#8211; very popular &#8211; here is little Avalon just having a great time!</p>
<p><a href="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/010.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-248" src="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/010.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="824" /></a></p>
<p>Her mom, Leanne Unger is one of the two ladies that are supplying the trip to Disney World!  Don&#8217;t forget to call us to see how you can enter your name!   Oh yes &#8211; if you use either <a href="http://www.soleconnections.ca">Ilene Goschke</a> or Leanne Unger from Travel Professionals International for booking a flight or a trip &#8211; you will get an extra draw ticket for the trip!</p>
<p><a href="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/009a.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-249" src="http://marlenefast.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/009a.jpg" alt="" width="230" height="346" /></a></p>
