thanksgiving weekend - part 3

A Very Kenny Thanksgiving - Part 3: Birthday Madness

On Saturday of the long Thanksgiving weekend, we went out to Buffalo Grove to attend a birthday party/extravaganza for Kenny's buddy, Seth, who was turning one. The party was held at the local JUF, and featured plenty of food, games, stuff to climb and slide on, a live musician, and cake. Lots of sweet, delicious cake.


Seth, the birthday boy, controls his father's actions by manipulating his ears. Painful, but effective.

Shortly after arriving, Kenny made a beeline for the plastic jungle gyms so he could show off his climbing, crawling, sliding, and giggling skills. I am pleased to announce that his skills are most formidable.

Kenny grins about being out of Daddy's reach and ponders whether or not to taunt him about his weak wrist shot.

The performance element of the party (aside from Kenny's playground skills) was provided by a kid's musician, who we had just missed the day before at the Kohl kid's museum. So that was fortuitous. Kenny had fun singing and clapping, testing his hand at guitar strumming, and even pulled a "Charlie Brown" by hitting on a cute redheaded girl.

Not sure what Overboard was laughing about here, but I'm sure it was quite comical.

Kenny wishes he had grown his fingernails a bit longer to really pull off that bluegrass picking technique. Oh well.

Subtle, no?

After the music mayhem had died down, Kenny sang "Happy Birthday" to Seth and then planted himself in a seat to indulge in some serious cake eating.

"Can't talk. Eating."

Was the party a success? Well, let's just say that Kenny was asleep in the backseat before we had even left the JUF parking lot. So, to answer that question: Yes.
