birthday #5: part 2

 Finley & Cohen chose a gymnastics birthday party at Gymnastics Northwest.


 They started the party with an obstacle course.


 Most of the activities ended in the kids having their own free-for-alls.  :P


 They played parachute games.


 Cat & mouse.


 Sharks & lifeguards.  Lifeguard Sadie is saving Kenton from a shark.


 Shark Tyler was trying to pull me under!  :P
 They birthday boys also got to be twisted up in the parachutes & then quickly spun around as everyone pulled it back in place.  :)


 Making balls float in the air!


 Finley & Cohen had lots of family & friends at their party!


 Biggest cousins with the littlest cousin.


 Finley was excited that Casey, his old teacher, was one of the helpers at his party.


The birthday boys got a special surprise from Gymnastics Northwest.  They each got to take a turn in the bungee harnesses.


 Cohen on one side.


 Finley on the other!


 Finn had no idea what was about to happen & was pretty freaked out at first.  He still tells us that it was too scary, but he was smiling & laughing the whole time.  :)


 They pulled the boys back & shot them at each other,  like they were in a sling-shot!


 It looked so crazy; I'm still shocked that they didn't even hit each other or the walls.  :P


 Great Phineas & Ferb ice cream cake, by Becca!


 Thirsty boys.


 Make a wish!


 Happy Finn!


 Griffin.


 Sadie & Ethan.


 Emma.


 Cedar, Kenton, Stephanie & Prescott (our neighbor friends).


 Cedar likes ice cream cake!


 What a great turn out for two very special boys!


 Time to open gifts!



 Legos from us.


 Giant Bakugan from the Ruddicks!


Finn had such a great time at his party & was so excited to play with all of his new toys!  Thanks to all for helping making my son's birthday so wonderful!  I think he's pretty great & I loved getting to watch him have a day filled with things that he loves with people that he loves.  There's no greater joy!  :)
