The King, El Gato, Treasa, Sir Doctor,Esq., and HH kick off the festivities.

The King watches as the Duke does his thang.

HH and Sir Doctor seem amused...for now.

...this doctoral student walks into a bar...

The Duke flaunting some of his Dyngus-fu.

You see, we have this party every year and when it's good weather...it makes me happy.

HH partakes in a malty beverage. Is she the RCBH?

Sir Doctor, Esq. seems to be enjoying this croquet match way too much.

The King lights the Duke's birthday cake.

The light! It burns! (and throws off the focus)

The Old Man Duke blows out his candles.

Giving the kids the signal to go cake raiding.

What is it with bubbles and Dyngus Day lately?

El Gato, Mama Kitty. Mama Kitty, El Gato.

The Prince getting some perspective to survey the croquet field.

Treasa seems to be enjoying her first exposure to RCBH.

The King and Sir Doctor seem to be enjoying the match. The cats just look bored.

Hijinks and shenanigans are afoot, methinks.

Yes there is and the Prince is curious, "You can do that?"

The King watches the outcome of the hijinks.

The Prince gets his croquet game on. Some day soon he'll beat the King...but until that day...
