1-yr old Birthday Party

Recently I worked a birthday party for a 1-year old.  In addition to the extravagant catering menu the following was provided for the 15+ children in attendance:
* petting zoo (brought into client's backyard)
* train rides throughout neighborhood
* face painting
* balloon artist
* jumpy ball thing
* swinging chair thing (pictured)

The floral centerpieces & balloons must have cost $1000k.  But hey, who am I to comment...the client handed me a $500 blank check to share with my chef & 3 servers.  Happy to know there are still people that appreciate & reward great service.
