Mason's Birthday

Mason's birthday party was at Escapades this year. A bunch of rowdy boys let loose on an indoor playground...CRAZY! There was a moment when I was sure we would get kicked out. We had kids ON TOP of the huge climbing apparatus instead of IN it like they are supposed to be. We had a group of boys cheating at the games that give you tickets for prizes. It was insanity. When our group left we had random kids we didn't know running up and hugging the kids in our group to tell them bye they had so much fun with them. The kids in our group ranged in age from 6 to 14...the older ones were the ones climbing where they shouldn't have been and cheating at the games. Maci and her friend spent a large amount of time just laying in the ball pit with random kids climbing all over them...or over them to get through. Balls were being chucked every which way...both in and OUT of the ball pit. Some how we managed to not get the boot and all had a wonderful time!

I have the bowling alley booked for Jayke's party this year but after the blast they all had at Escapades I am now considering moving it so they can all go back. Matthew has been begging Ang to let him take Jayke and Mason to Escapades for months. He was so happy to finally be there...I'm sure he would love to go back. Above is a picture of Jayke, Mason, Zion, and Levi. Jayke and Zion are in the same grade, as Mason and Levi are too. They all play soccer together and Zion is on Jayke's basketball team. They all get along and have a great time together.

After the birthday party, Mason had a birthday dinner on his real birthday a couple of days later, and cake the day after that. I'm sure Jayke now thinks he needs to have a 3 day birthday as well!
