Zack's b-day party at Heros

Heros is *the* place for birthday parties.  Or at least the kids think so  :)  Since Sydney has had a couple of big parties with friends, Zack had his there this year.  The party began with decorating a t-shirt, with his best bud Chase.

Next they got on the bouncer and slides.  Fun for everyone, even for big sis!

 It was a good group of friends.

 After the inflatables, the kids went to the "sandlot" and had a "food fight".  They hurled all sorts of stuff back and forth and the team with the least amount of items on their side in the end won.  Too bad Chase got hit in the head with a rubber chicken :(

 They also did a race on wheeled boards.  It proved to be a bit more difficult that it looks!

 Next the kids moved over to the carnival games.  This are is always a big hit and they get to pick out a prize.

 Of course the birthday boy gets the biggest prize!  No surprise, he picked out a jet.

Finally the gang headed over to the dining area, which was decorated like it was back in the 70's.  Pizza and juice was served.

After blowing out the candles on a his cupcake, the kids each got to decorate their own cupcake with yummy treats like jellybeans and gummy bears.  Those cupcakes are delicious!!



Finally it was time to open the presents.  He got a ton of toys.  Such nice friends!  Zack had a blast and it was a very special day for him :)

Safety Township

Zachary had the great opportunity to go to Safety Township this year.  The program was around back when Sydney was entering in to Kindergarten also, but I could not figure out how to make arrangements to get her there so she did not attend.  Zack got to carpool with Elle, who lives in our neighborhood and also goes to Childrens Discovery Center.  I am very thankful to have great neighbors and friends who can help us out like that.  That arrangement worked our very well.

The kids got to ride around a little town in these cool cars and learn all about safety rules - in cars, on bikes, stranger danger, and much much more.  He has been telling us all about it all week! 

 At the end of the week there was a graduation program to share all the information they had learned.
