PartyKids Entertainment: Sunshine, Sportball and Greek Day!

Nicholas and Soda Pop!

I love the sun!

What a busy and brilliant weekend! I had so much fun, and thanks Mr. Sun for hanging around yesterday, it made it all the more glorious! Saturday began slow at the Kids Market on Granville Island, but picked up by then end. I was also lucky enough to be introduced to a fellow clown who is here all the way from Ireland. We laughed, we chatted, and he showed me some of his amazing handy work with balloon twisting. His name is MOJO and he is only here through July, so let me know if you need a magician, amazing balloon twister or someone versed in the art of tom foolery.

I also did some balloon practicing for next Friday which is Canada Day! We will be at the Kids Market doing balloons and face painting, so come on by!

MOJO!

Sunday was probably the craziest day I've had yet. Rachel and I went to three events (whew!) and had a great time doing it (it's always nice when the weather is on your side). We started the day at a birthday party near Commercial Drive. Before I continue, I must tell you that Rachel has decided on her clown name! She shall hence forth be known as Soda Pop the Clown!

Soda Pop the Clown!

Soda painted many a Hello Kitty at the birthday party. The birthday girl even got her full face done as Hello Kitty (one of my faves) and kept telling Soda Pop "I like you." She was pretty darn cute.

Soda Pop and Beebop!

Then it was off to the Sportball fair in Dunbar, put on by the people at Right to Play. Party Kids strongly supports the Right to Play initiative around the globe, who's vision is to ensure every child's right to play. Play in an important part of belonging, childhood development, self-esteem and fun. Sadly, some children never get to feel the sense of empowerment and community that team sports can bring, but Right to Play is working to change that. Check them out at :

The Sportball event was to be our last, but we received an urgent call on the Clown Phone from Nicholas saying that he was over run with people at Greek Day on West Broadway and needed our help!

We rushed down there in time to give him a much needed falafel break (mmmmm, falafel).

We were stationed in front of Just Imagine and painted, and painted, and painted!

Thanks so much to Donna and the staff at Just Imagine for having us!

I shall leave you know with the Greek Day photos, which speak for themselves...
