Birthday Balloons

When I was a kid (this is Dave typing), I heard about kids who had ponies at their birthday parties (and other urban-legend related tall tales). These photos were taken directly across from our house. Kyla's friend Sacha had a birthday party, complete with two rented clowns, lunch at a fairly posh restaurant, and a ride in a hot air balloon. Just another day in Kazakhstan, the land of contrasts.
