A Dragon Birthday Party!

Vonn and Joey with the shields they designed.

Joey's special friend, Vonn, turned 5!  He had a dragon-themed birthday party.  It was a great time.  They started with designing their own shields, then moved to slaying a dragon with swords and weapons (the piñata), and a dragon egg hunt.   Joey found Vonn's older cousins to be willing to sword fight with the foam weapons.  Joey had been waking up in the mornings asking if that day was Vonn's party.

Joey attempting to "slay" the dragon.  Vonn's papa was great
with moving the piñata and even had it swinging through
the air, at times.  After the first round, Vonn's daddy (an artist)
drew on the eyes of the dragon to make him angry.  I love it! 

Joey excited about the treasures in the dragon eggs.

Me and Frances.  I really enjoy Vonn's mother.
When we get together with the boys, I always
joke that it's my play date, too.

The warriors at the party!
