     ...Continued from yesterday: 
     Tom and I arrived in Los Angeles late last Saturday night, 9 pm Los Angeles time, which was midnight  Ohio time.
     So our visit really began the following morning, bright and early, when we all hit the ground running to get ready for our grand daughter's 6th birthday party.
      My job was to procure a birthday cake - a task that had somehow been overlooked in the bustle of the preparations - sufficient for the forty guests, half children, half adults.

     So I headed out to my most-frequented Manhattan Beach, California stomping ground,
Picture
      From whence I procured two quarter-sheet cakes,
...which I brought home and set before the birthday girl and her sister along with several tubes of icing gel,
Picture
Picture
...assigning them the job of decorating the cakes.
    They were, as you can imagine, quite happy to oblige,
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
...and with a little help from their Grammie produced some quite satisfactory results.
Picture
     The party was scheduled for one o'clock, so shortly before that time we transported ourselves and the party provisions to the location,
...an after school care/birthday party venue called Art Zone,
Picture
...a magical place set up for all kinds of junior art activities,
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
...including a dry play room,
Picture
Picture
...a wet play room,
...a spray-paint room
Picture
...the most awesome floor,
Picture
Picture
...that I wish I had in my house,
Picture
Picture
...and sweet, lovely messages hung all around the place.
     As soon as the guests arrived they dove right into the festivities,
Picture
Picture
Picture
...and soon the joint was jumping.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
     After a while of playtime a yummy lunch was served,
...of cheese pizza from Fresh Brothers,
Picture
...the most delicious vegan salads from Veggie Grille,
Picture
Picture
...fresh fruit and Justin's signature guacamole,
Picture
...and, of course, birthday cake.
Picture
Picture
     After the cake and little bit more playtime came the final activity, smooshing around a happy birthday message written in shaving cream.
Picture
Picture
     It was a great party.
