Dear, Dear Friends and Family, Alright, it was bigger this year. And better. About fifty or sixty friends came. We did all the games, made great projects, ate a ton of food, and THERE WERE LADYBUGS EVERYWHERE! Oh, I just can't wait until next year. It's going to be even better! But first, look at all the photos our mommy took, as she ran around making sure everyone was happy. And we think EVERYONE WAS HAPPY. Thank you for coming! Love, Baby Poeka - June 19th, 2011		Okay, Mocha is in the way, so you can't see it, but I AM wearing my ladybug dress. And we watched the whole party floating high up on our bench-swing.


Waiting for the start, "Hudson do NOT fall in the puddle!"		The bleachers for those who wanted to watch.


Checking out the field and activities.		Ayla timing the balance race.


One of our dear friends racing away!		Keeping track of time takes time.


The projects were so cool. We made ladybug bracelets.		We colored skate boards for the Roller Skate Race.


We made Baby Poeka bubble-blowers and sand bracelets.		Roaming around with the pancake race in the background.


Explaining the Road Race.		Staying on the yellow road is not so easy.


It takes a nimble Poekie-mom!		Sapphire was fluttering around all afternoon.


The restaurant gave much needed relief from all the fun.		Okay, dearest friend, this is your standard photo!


And the food was good!		A Poekie dad working very hard to get his Poekie to the Cheese-It's in the center of the maze.


The roller skate race. On your skates,		or on your tummy.


Another lovely friend of ours.		Where would be we without our dear Feebz?


A lot of Poekies went swimming, and diving or sliding from the castle is so much fun.		It's true, it's true! Sapphire really flew high up in the air before diving down into the pool!


Much attention is needed for the obstacle course.		But best of all was the ladybug tent, filled with plants and 1500 real ladybugs.


They crawled all over us, humans and Poekies.		They crawled in the grass and on the flowers.


It was a magic tent.		Here we are floating in heaven.


Mommy did manage to draw quick henna-tattoos on may of our friends arms.		Our beautiful helpers. This one worked too hard.


But the kitchen help stayed very cheerful thanks to all the candy!		Helping with projects takes skill.


Giving stars for prizes makes a lot of friends.		Another project helper who worked too hard.


And then there's our oldest friend, Ayla. We've known her longer than any other friend.		There were lady bugs everywhere. Real ones, wooden stick-on ones, metal ones on bracelets, and the ones on my dress!

Many thanks to everyone who made the BPBPB3 possible:
Ayla, Nicole, Kayla, Eva, Marina, Jade, Daniella, Grace, Jordan, Dave and Tom.
