That must feel so free. Kudos to those who can do it without a little support, like I'd need at this point in my life. We've had to use the big candles for birthdays, too, but only for adults - the kids won't allow it for themselves.

The participants are irreverent and the crowd appreciative. Some of the costumes are so creative and humorous. Among my favorites this year were the women wearing "bathing attire" complete with inner tubes. At first glance their suits were so realistic it was astonishing.

And I think I say every year that I cannot imagine biking in the nude. That just seems wrong. And awkward. And painful, lol. More power to the people who do, I guess!<br /><br />We have often had similar non-birthday candles stuck in birthday cakes at family celebrations. I think it gives the cake character :-) Happy birthday to your hubby!<br /><br />Courtney Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15313884444155946332noreply@blogger.com
