Megan is getting old enough to really enjoy birthdays now, as well as "plan out" how she wants them to go. Her first request was "breakfast in bed".
Shown here with her "smoothy", cinnamon roll and donut, in bed.
Here second request was for "mandarin orange salad" on her birthday, and cake for her birthday party. I bet this is the first time mandarin orange salad has ever had candles in it. Her other requests were "ramen noodles and kool aid for lunch" and I can't remember what dinner was.
Michael had gone to grand slam sports for his birthday the last 2 years, as well as our neighbor joey, and they each get a "birthday shirt" for their birthday, so Megan "had" to go to grand slam so she could get her birthday shirt. Summer birthdays, especially around the 4th of July are hard, since not to many kids are around. Here is Megan in her birthday shirt.
Some of the other festivities were - Laser Tag
Playing in the arcade. Megan really wanted a stuffed animal out of the "claw game", which I always view as a complete waste of money as I believe it is rigged to never win anything, however Rachel must have figured it out as she won 5 stuffed animals out of it - one for every child there!
The other neat part is the "fun zone" which is a big room full of stuffed balls and guns that you can shoot at each other. Here are the girls on the bottom level.
Rachel on the 2nd level manning one of the guns.
Megan and friends Mickey and Alyssa gathering balls for the cannon.
Michael trying to crank the canon arm before it fires the balls.
Pizza time. This is actually the meanest part of the party, as no one wants to eat, we have to pull them away from playing, and they can't open presents until after they eat. Why even have food at parties?
Decorating cupcakes has become a tradition.
The party girls on the mini golf course.
