| For Flynn’s main birthday party, we reserved a shelter at Redmond’s Anderson Park | Getting the crafts table ready | Daniel, Guinness, and Lauren have fun with bubbles | Kiera, Flynn, and more bubbles | A mix of Flynn’s birthday attendees and other kids that just happened to be at the park | Running is good fun |
| Ruby hard at work | Alvarez boys have their rockets, as they and the McBain boys run around with Flynn | More running around | There seems to still be some bubbles floating around, as Flynn sneaks up on Shannon | Rich seems to have an unfair advantage in the bubble-generation department | Lunch-time, the usual hot-dogs and hamburgers |

| Flynn designed this moon rover with meteors for the cake | Can he get them all? | Keeping Lauren away long enough to serve ☺ | Did Kiera or Ruby start it? We’ll never know, but they sure are goofs! | Cram that cake in! | Time for the flying saucer games! |
| And of course, presents from our generous guests | Dinosaurs! | The wide shot | Brett explains the space game | He gets drafted every year, because he introduced us to the very fun pirate version of the game | Change the words to space themed ones, and you’ve got a whole new game! |
| It’s a bit of red-light, green-light, Simon Says, and tag all wrapped up in one | There’s a lot of clustering around at specific spots | Then there are the poses…makes sure you can get them all right! | The tire swing | After the party, many of us still had some time to play around on the playground | Innaias on the play equipment with Daddy |
