We attended Ashlyn’s 5th birthday party on Sunday morning at a gymnastic place.  The boys were ready to have fun as soon as we walked in.  The kids did a little free play first, then the coach started the group activities.  Logan was hesitant to do the trampoline, but after some convincing, he got in line.  Connor was already in line; he enjoyed bouncing over the long trampoline and slid down to the foam pool.  After this one round, Connor did not want to do it again, but suddenly a long time later, he told me he wanted another run.  Then all the kids were moved to the next activity, the parachute.  Neither of the boys were interested to join the crowd, so they just stayed near us walking and playing on the low balance beams.  The next activity was a race to another foam pool.  Connor was in line; when it was his turn, he ran as fast he could and jumped into the foam.  He wore a smile on his face the entire time.  Logan required some convincing again, but he did his best too.  When he ran back to the crowd, he tripped a little and he claimed that he hurt his ankle.  But after some resting, he agreed to go again and race with Connor.  Unfortunately by the time they finally came up to the front of the lines, the activity was called off to move on to the final area.  Connor joined in and do the obstacle course, but Logan opted out.  Then it was time for pizza.  After cleaning up, all the kids sat down to eat.  Logan saved a seat for Connor and helped him to ask for a slice of pizza later too.  After everyone ate and we sang happy birthday to Ashlyn, Connor and I enjoyed the cake.  Both boys were happy to get a balloon, and Connor was especially surprised by the bundle of popcorns given by auntie Julie.
