Coast Guard Day

For the 223rd celebration of the Coast Guard, the party was held at a big park in Castro Valley. When we arrived, the first order of business was ice cream, of course!

These summer shaggy boys and not so shaggy girl loved the big sandbox. And as a bonus, it was shady. A definite relief from the hot valley temperatures!

There was a delicious bbq lunch and cake. A clown was making creations out of balloons, and of course there was body painting.  I really have no idea what design is on Alex's hands, but he seemed pretty happy about it

The kids even made friends with the forest creatures.
