Cohen and Kemp's Party with Friends

Last Saturday we had a party for Cohen and Kempton's birthday with their friends. We had it at Rolly Pollies and everyone had a blast!!
Kempton and his friend, Richie

There is a foam pit with a cargo net, a rope and a zip line. 

A Trampoline
A climbing area
A rock wall and miscellaneous things everywhere!

This picture somewhat shows the nonstop running and children everywhere!


This is the only time Kempton wasn't running! :)







The kids and parents listening to the rules!




I have a lot of blurry pictures!









That's Cohen in the red :)





I had to run out of the madhouse to pay for the pizza so I grabbed a quick picture of the cake and party room.


For the last 15 minutes they opened up the zip line. Cohen was scared at first but worked up the courage after he saw a lot of his friends do it.











Kemp's friend Aubrey wanted to do it but couldn't really hang on so he just threw her in the foam pit, which she loved!

Kempton never worked up the courage to use the zip line.

Even the parents had fun playing! One of the dads was even doing flips on the trampoline!

Cohen's friend, Sarah 

The had a moon bounce too!
Kempton's friend Ainsley

Here's the group....
18 kids, plus one more who didn't want to sit for the picture!
Top Row: Alex, Saniyah, Tristan, Cohen, Taylor, Sarah, Payton, CJ, MJ, Stephanie
Bottom Row: Gianna, Harmonee, Aaron (in red), Parker, Kemp, Richie, Aubrey and Andre

We decided to have a combined party because their birthday's are so close together, but also because they have a lot of friends who are siblings.  (Tristan and Aaron, Alex and Parker, Ainsley and Aubrey, and CJ and Richie)
All of the kids are from Daycare except for Payton, who a family friend!



For dinner, we had pizza (it was the easiest), chips and a fruit cup. The kids must have worked up an appetite because they sat so nicely and quietly!






Singing happy birthday and blowing out candles :)




We were trying to figure out what to do for a "goody bag." I didn't want to put a bunch of random useless stuff in a bag so I tried to find some ideas on Pintrest. I saw one where each of the kids get to bring home a little stuffed puppy. Cohen loved the idea! He was so excited for all of his friends to pick out a puppy and I think the kids liked it too!



Cohen, Tristan and Taylor (these three have been going to daycare together since they were a few months old!)


Oh my! The parents were so creative and thoughtful with their gifts. The got a lot of different stuff and the kids were so excited!

Here are some videos from the party!


Cohen on the zip line! I love his little dance afterwards!










Overall, it was an absolute blast! I am so grateful for the friends that my children have made and their wonderful parents who I have gotten to know! 

Love,
