We had a nice party for Aila's 11th birthday this year. She invited all of the girls from her class, plus two of her friends from outside of school. We rented a huge bouncy castle, set up a scavenger hunt, and had a picnic lunch out on the back deck.

Aila agreed to pose for a good old fashioned balloon photo.

Technical Details: This photo was taken with my Canon 5D Mark II + EF 17-40L at 28mm, ISO 1600, f/8 for 1/100th of a second.
