Sixth Birthday Party

Riley talked about wanting a birthday party at a gymnastics place since going to a party for her friend last year at one.  So we planned a party at Sky High where she is now taking gymnastics lessons.  She was able to invite her entire class as you can have 20 kids and two instructors.  We had three instructors just in case some siblings wanted to participate.  The kids had a blast!!

They had an hour of free play on the equipment.  Quite a bit of time was spent on the trampolines, foam pit and zipline.  They either swung across on the rope into the foam pit or jumped in.  The girls loved it!!!

Many of the kids jumped and ran all along the trampolines.  It was great!!

Then we had time in the eating room where we had tables set out.  They kids had either water or 7up and nothing bundt cake.  We ordered a chocolate-chocolate chip cake and a white on white cake.  Everyone sang Happy Birthday to Riley.  She had such a blast!!!

When we got home, she was able to open her presents.  Wow - was she ever blessed!!  Everyone was so creative in their gifts and they were all so perfect for her.  Lots of things to paint, color, draw, write and create.  Lots of new things to do.  Her favorite gift was a dog that a friend gave her (the friend's mom helps out at shelters so it totally made sense!).  Many of the parents help out in Riley's class and know her well.  Sure showed in the gifts as they were all incredibly thoughtful!

Riley opened some Barbies that were given to her from her friend Johnny.  She said "He even got me girlie things even though he is a boy!"  She was very excited about that!

It was a fantastic day and it is such a blessing to watch her and her friends have so much fun together.
