Celebrating friends

Our sweet friend, Keaton, turned four, and we had a great time celebrating.  The party was at Paradise Pond, which was so exciting for Reed.  He loves playing there.  Keaton was one of Reed's first friend, and he has known her his entire life.  He has a sweet spot in his heart for her.

Paradise Pond is a wonderful, entertaining, indoor playground.  The boys were thrilled that they were invited to a birthday party, and I heard the whole week about how they could not wait to go to Paradise Pond.  So why is it that I couldn't find Reed playing in the bounce house, superhero dress up, dinosaur area, jungle gym, or even playing with the thousands of cars and race tracks?  I found him "working" on the wall on the far side of the building.  Oh my, what have we done to our children?  Maybe we have done too many projects around the house.

 

Party fun

 

Reed was invited to his friend, Ava's, second birthday party at Paradise Pond.  It was the first party for one of his friends, but he didn't know the difference.  Ryland was invited as well since he is buddies with Ava's big brother, Colton. They both played and had a total blast. Paradise Pond is a favorite hang out since they have so many fun things to do inside. 

 

Paradise Pond party

The boys and I celebrated Keegan's 4th birthday at Paradise Pond.  We always have a blast playing with all their awesome toys.  Ryland was quick to recognize that this was were he had his party, and he said he wanted to have his next birthday here too.  Between a huge climbing structure, slides, bounce house, and tons of other play stations, the boys were in heaven.

 

 

Reed's favorite play station was the dress up area.  He is really into super hero masks but just needs a little help putting them on.

Ryland's 3rd birthday party

Ryland had a fantastic 3rd birthday party. It was crazy fun at Paradise Pond, and I think everyone had a great time.
The staff set up everything for us. We brought in the decorations, and they took it from there. We were able to enjoy visiting with family and friends. They did a great job of making it festive.

We sang Happy Birthday to Ryland and he blew out the candles.

Ryland liked to dress up with his buddy, Trent, and Reed tried to sneak in to steal the stick horse.
