For Party Favors, I thru these balls out in the yard. Except I forgot to tell some people to take them home as the left. Oooops!
We had guests from lots of places ... neighbors, from church, from the adoption group, from Texas ... we have such great friends and our neighbors are the best around.
The bounce was huge and the kids played in it for hours.
