A Soaring First Birthday-- Hot Air Balloons for all!



The birthday boy wasn't the only one having fun at this soaring 1st birthday celebration.  It was a themed party designed to both entertain the children and allow the parents an opportunity to celebrate making it through Year 1.  Family and friends gathered in the park on a beautiful spring day to join in the merriment.



Along with a variety of canned craft beers (complying with the park's no glass laws)  guests sipped beverages out of plastic mason jars that doubled as party favors. 
Organic fruits and veggies, along with cheese platters were placed out for nibblers to enjoy. For dessert cookies, brownies, macaroons, and a scrumptious cake from Bennison's Bakery, in Evanston, IL were served.  










Little baskets were placed out at toddler height and filled with blueberries and pita wedges to meet the munching needs of little hands.  

Younger guests were also provided with other surprises.  Felted hot air balloons dangling from the picnic tables (that they could take home), a hot air balloon basket to climb in and smile for the camera, a picnic blanket equipped with books and balls, and a kiddy pool/ball pit assured children of all ages have fun.
