Hold your breath Make a wish Count to three
Saturday we had Charlie’s birthday party.
It was Willy Wonka themed.

Come with me And you’ll be In a world of Pure imagination Take a look And you’ll see Into your imagination
Almost everyone we love most in the world was able to come.
There were a few who either live too far away to make the trip or were enjoying some relaxation in Mexico who had to be with us in heart instead.
We ate tacos.
People talked and laughed and enjoyed themselves.
We had a treat table.
The Candy bar was for the kids to take home treat bags.
We had Augustus Gloop’s Chocolate Bars, Violet Beauregard’s Chewing Gum, Veruca Salt’s Golden Eggs, Mike Teevee’s Mike n Ikes, and Charlie Bucket’s Wonka Mix
Smash cake and cupcakes by Zeeland Bakery.
Fizzy Lifting Drink = one 2-liter of sprite + one bottle of white grape juice + sherbet (I used rainbow, for obvious reasons)
We’ll begin With a spin Traveling in The world of my creation What we’ll see Will defy Explanation
If you want to view paradise Simply look around and view it Anything you want to, do it Wanta change the world? There’s nothing To it
There is no Life I know To compare with Pure imagination Living there You’ll be free If you truly wish to be
If you want to view paradise Simply look around and view it Anything you want to, do it Wanta change the world? There’s nothing To it

“We are the music makers… and we are the dreamers of dreams.”
Happy birthday, Charlie.
