It was but a short couple of years ago that Maya Singer came to California as a baby. Today she's almost ready to attend business school, as we celebrated her sixth birthday with a picnic in (windy, cold) Tilden Park. All the usual accoutrements were on display - balloons, lots of pink, cakes. Elise and Elliot led the party games with great enthusiasm, and I once again tried to spread the gospel of cricket...
The birthday girl, suitably haughty.
Elise makes the most of an unfair advantage in duck-duck-goose.
This is more like it! Strangely only Loren would join me in a real sport.
Echoes of Shane Warne.
A short coaching session. "So how do I hit a home run..."
Simon (Elliot) Says.
Michal willingly (?) volunteers as toilet paper mummy #1.
And Elise is mummy #2.
Come fly with me.
Parkers in pink.
Bars in purple.
Poor, unfed waif.
Cake arrives, swiftly followed by chaos.
The eternal struggle of lighting candles outside.
Girls: a lot more violent than boys.
Getting away with a hostage. For now.
