Life has been so busy around here. I took on some additional responsibilities at work...Miles made the 5th grade basketball team...baseball is going strong for fall...Darrin is busy with his team back on campus...and Carson's daycare was shut down for 1.5 weeks due to a Covid exposure. Over the weekend, we crammed in Miles' birthday at a video game cafe cafe.
I tried to talk him out of it telling him that we could spend the money on a present instead, but he was insistent. I'm glad he was, b/c he and his friends had a great time and it was the easiest party we've every thrown.
He invited his baseball team, some of his teammates' siblings, and one friend that is soon to be a neighbor.
We debated whether or not to take Carson. Miles thought he would cause problems and ruin the night. Instead, he was glued to this chair for two hours and only moved for cake.
Miles' friends spoiled him rotten with such generous gifts.
After the party, Carson got in the truck, ate a piece of pizza in record time, and felt asleep immediately. He was all partied out.
Everything is connected so they all played Fortnight together.
Darrin enjoyed the party too. All the parents dropped the kids off at the beginning and so we were the only adults left besides the owners. The kids were so good and mostly quiet since they were glued to their games.
For parties of 10+, you get the whole place to yourself. Don't get me wrong, you pay for it, but it still wasn't as much as Carson's bouncy water slide ;)
Darrin said we are having the party there every year b/c it was so easy. They even provide pizzas and drinks. The only thing I had to bring was a cake. Miles said he was fine with it too. Next year, I won't try to talk him out of it!
