We made the same offer to Mason.  Barbie?  My Little Pony?  Mmmooommmm.  Dddaaaddd.  He wanted a clown.  And a clown we got.  Here, Mason helps Clown Chipolata with the time honored "snake in the nut can" trick.  A sure hit with the 6-year old set.

Actually, as the birthday boy of honor, Mason was invited to assist in many of Chipolata's activities.  Here Mason attempts to help Chipolata repair his magic wand.

The wand repaired, Chipolata was set to go to work.  I was hoping he might turn one of the kids into a frog, but he really only ended up producing some candy for them.  Ah well - maybe next year.

Happy birthday to you, big fella.
