Now that's a party

Sure there was a bouncy castle, games of chance, a juggler, a steel drum band, face painting and hot dogs at our local park's Canada Day celebrations earlier today.

But, you know, it's just not a party until a demented clown hands your kid a phallic-looking balloon dog.

And he falls in love with it.

Happy Canada Day everyone!

    I swear that your son gets cuter every time I see a new picture. How is that possible?

    AWWW!!! :) We were in Toronto, two years ago, on Canada Day. It was AMAZING! We had so much fun running around downtown, getting into museums for free, and just having a blast!! :)

    Such a cute photo!

    Happy Canada Day to you and your family.

    I will, however, say that I am not so sure I ever used that analogy to signify the completion or climax of a party.

    KEEP BELIEVING

    OMG that is adorable, balloon and all. I love his hair, it's so cute. We made it thru half of our Canada Day celebration, then my son came down with a fever and we head to pack up and head home. We still had a blast!!! Ottawa really rocks on July 1st!

    Yikes! That certainly is phallic looking! Sounds like you guys had a blast. We opted to save on gas and partied it up in the backyard.

    Cute! Harry got one of those at a neighborhood party when we were at my parent's house. Sobbing ensued when it got popped while he was playing at the park. I hope yours has a better ending.

    That is the funniest balloon ever! And he does have to be biting on it, doesn't he? Hilarious!
    A clown huh? Just the mention of clowns is liable to give me nightmares. I'm already bracing myself for the clowns in the 4th of July parade. Yikes!
