Connor loves birthday parties.  He was so excited about his that he woke up early on Sunday and came to tell us Happy Birthday Party Day.  We arrived at Rockin Jump early as told and it was easy since we did not need to do any setup.  The guests started arriving and everyone was able to began jumping at 11am.  Connor had not seen his two school buddies for a long time; when they were the last to finally arrive, Connor was happy to see everyone.  We had asked to have a private game of dodgeball just among our own party, so we gathered for that.  It was cute that the kids naturally divided into the 10 years old vs 8 years old, and they battled against each other.  Afterward, the kids just all dispersed around the different trampoline areas, but often they stayed together in small groups.  They played basketball and dived into the foam pool.  Other than the dodgeball as their favorite, Logan and the older boys also liked the jousting game.  They played there several times.  Stuart and I were also prepared so we could jump and played as well.  Stuart played basketball with Connor and Marcus, and he was happy that he could dunk the ball again .  I also had fun jumping around a bit, but sadly my old bones were not use to the jumping and I have a bit of neck pain now.

    After an hour of jumping, we all gathered in the party room for pizza, fruits and cake.  Connor happily listened to the friends singing birthday song to him.  Afterward the kids were hoping to go back out to play; since the playground was actually relatively quiet, the host gave the kids another wristband and allowed them some extra time.  This extra time made the party even better and all the kids enjoyed the additional jumping, more jousting and more dodgeball. 

   When the party ended, we had made plan to take Rohan and Maxim back to our house.  Maxim could not stay long, but Rohan stayed to play with the boys.  Cole also came over, so Connor was happy to have this additional playdate.  We later took Rohan with us for a little swimming on this hot day before the parents came to pick him up.  Connor had a blast on his Birthday Party Day.
