The Birthday party

On saturday was the big day, my son turned 6 and the party was a success. The place we went to Jumpin Beans was basically an indoor inflatables place just for our party. The kids were running around everywhere more or less playing nice lol. 
Some kids showed up a little too early and their parents rolled out, which I wasn't too pleased about, especially since one was a sibling of an invited child. So now 4 or 5 kids were stuck in a little room until it was time for us to go in the big room.

Finally it was time, and the kids rushed into the room. There were more parents than I expected as couples came together not just moms. That was nice, gave the adults an opportunity to talk to other adults.

The theme was of course Star Wars, table cloth, plates, cups, center piece, ect, you get the point.  

The kids seemed to use up a lot of energy even though they only played in the inflatable area for about an hour and 15 minutes.  There was a money machine for the birthday boy which was pretty cool but he didn't really get the part about having to stuff the money out this small slot, he was holding  a lot when it turned off.  They also brought out this huge inflatable birthday chair for him to get his birthday picture in.  After that all the kids had to the room for food and drinks time.  We had pizza and cake, apple juice, fruit punch and water.  The cake was a big hit.  See below:


After the food and drink, it was open the presents time.  We were a little but rushed as out time was running out but we got through them.
Overall my son was happpy and enjoyed most of his presents (the ones he didn't will get exchange so no loss)
