On Sunday I took the boys to Raz’s birthday party at Pump It Up while Stuart stayed home for some house chores. When we were led into the first play room, the two boys immediately ran into a stadium-looking jumpy house; they had fun battling each other. Other kids came and went, but the two stayed and continued to play there. When we were moved to the second room, both Logan and Connor climbed inside the one with a basketball hoop; they played for awhile before they discovered the huge building blocks. They built a house together until some kids came and joined them, and another boy came to destroy. I saw Logan talking calmly to tell him not to destroy, but the young boy did not really take the advice. So Logan and Connor moved to the side and built again. Then everyone was moved to the third and last play room, and the boys played inside a combo stairs/slide/hoop jump house. Apparently Logan was keeping an eye on the one with a shooting apparatus but it never became available for them to move over to it. It was interesting that the boys just played with each other only the entire time. When Rohan finally arrived toward the end of play time (after his swim class), he immediately spotted the boys and entered the jumpy house to join them. Then we were moved onto the party room for pizza and cake. After we sang the birthday song to Raz, I heard Logan assigning seats for Connor, Rohan and himself all in a roll at the table. They had a good appetite to eat while they played with each other. Since the boys did not have long enough time to play, we were invited to go to Rohan’s house to continue. All three of them disappeared upstairs as soon as we arrived. At some point, Connor wanted to play in the yard, but it was too hot for the other to join him. He ended up sitting in the shade outside for awhile by himself before he returned and joined the boys again. After over an hour, we said our goodbyes even though Rohan did not want the playtime to end. I took the boys for a quick haircut before we returned home. After a break for video games, all four of us hit the swimming pool. The boys had long endurance again and we were in the water for more than an hour and a half. We were all exhausted by the end of the day.
