Josh's birthday isn't until Tuesday, and, yes, Tommy's birthday is actually first up, so it felt a bit weird having Josh's party today, but the kids were out of school for fall conferences, so we figured it was a great day to party rather than try to schedule a celebration into one of our cram-packed October Saturdays. Turning ten, an even birthday year, means FRIEND PARTY, which equals total Josh joy! After much deliberation over what he wanted to do, he settled on a visit to Trampoline World. So, after quickly gobbling up cupcakes and ice cream and opening the gifts his friends had brought him, I drove Josh, along with Sophie, Canyon, Eli and Ryan, to Trampoline World for two hours of jumping bliss. They were so adorable together, had a fantastic time and wore themselves out enough that the car ride home was much quieter than the car ride there...until Sophie had the idea to conduct a "weird sound symphony" where they each chose a sound to make repeated over and over as she conducted them to be louder, quieter, stop and start. Funny, fun friends!
*I forgot to grab the good camera which is better for taking pictures of high-speed kids in low lighting, so grainy, blurry pictures of the fun had is all there is. Frankly, it's a better representation of how the two hours went anyway...I'm pretty sure they didn't stop moving. They were a blur to me as well!

| When I told them I couldn't take a picture of them jumping because it would be too blurry, they said, "Let's all pretend we are jumping!" So funny! |

| One of Josh's best friends is our neighbor Ryan. Ryan is older, in 6th grade, and doesn't know any of Josh's friends so we thought it would be nice to have Ryan join us for Tommy's movie outing instead of attend the larger party with the group at Trampoline World. This way, Josh wouldn't worry about having Ryan feel left out of the group of Josh's school friends. It was great to have Ryan with us for The Book of Life! |
