The boys had two birthday parties on Sunday to attend.  In the morning, it was Marcus’ Ninja party.  We arrived at this big place full of big and tall wooden boxes and other apparatus.  The boys went straight inside and joined Mckayla and Marcus.  When the instructor began with the instruction to the kids, Stuart and I took off.  We went to Willow Glen to stroll around and later took a break at a coffee shop.  When we were driving back to the party place, Michelle shared a video of Logan jumping down from a tall block.  We also caught the trail end of the fun activities when we arrived; it was good to see the boys participating.  After the activities ended, the kids got washed up and grouped for pizza.  The boys shared with us who they did.  Logan pointed out the tall block where he jumped down multiple times, and Connor told us he jumped from that high ground into a pool of mattress. They both were proud of what they did; they truly enjoyed the party and being trained to be ninjas.  It was funny that for the next two days, Logan could barely stand up from his sore legs.

    In the afternoon, we went to attend Rohan’s birthday party at the K1 Go Kart place.  This venue was intriguing as the boys had never done this, but the wait there was long before it was the kids’s turn to get on the race cars, and only 1/2 of the kids for the first round.  Logan, Rohan and 5 other of his friends were called first.  Logan followed the lead, put on the helmet and situated in the race car.  From the way Logan was sitting, we could tell that he was nervous.  But we were very proud that he just went with the flow.  After some more waiting, the kids were off onto the track.  Logan was going slow, but he was steadily increasing his speed throughout the laps.  After 14 laps, the race was finished; we were definitely very proud of Logan.  Logan was in good mood when he returned to us, but he told me that it was scary as the car was going too fast if he stepped on the pedal too hard.  Before that, Connor had already decided that he did not want to do the race.  Then Logan also did not recommend it for Connor, so Rohan went again to take Connor’s spot.  The rest of the party was a bit tough as some kids were unruly while they were hanging out, and Stuart and I felt stressed watching them.  After pizza and cake for Rohan, since Logan decided that he did not want to go on 2nd round, we headed out as it was already late.  This party was a cool experience for Logan.
