For Owen’s fourth birthday party we gave him a few options — gymnastics party, gymnasium party or a bouncy house party. The decision was pretty easy — a bouncy house! So the party would be as it was last year, at Aunty Claudette’s house with a bouncy house – this year, though, we hoped and hoped for sunny, hot weather where everyone could enjoy the big backyard and deck. We upped the bouncy house to a bouncy house combo with a slide – this was a big hit. The day started out dreary and cool but hour by hour the sun warmed things up that by 1:00, the weather was perfect.
Owen opened his gifts; the Bat-cave fit in nicely with his new interest in everything to do with Superheroes.
More dress up clothes, construction and doctor outfits. Brandon was all over the construction outfit — Bob the Builder of course!
And then there was the cake – Spider-man. Aunty Claudette did an excellent job decorating the cake; I was there to help coach her thought it, but she gets all the credit for the actual icing of the cake.
And after cake, there was the Spider-man pinata — what’s a party without a pinata!?
Finally after many whacks and a few power whacks from the parents, the pinata broke and down came the treats.
The end of another great birthday party – warm sunny weather, excellent moods by the kids, good food and another excellent birthday cake.
