Rylan and Brenna's B-Day

Sunday, our friends (Kristen and Erik) had a birthday party for their two children, Rylan and Brenna.  It was a very cool party in that it was held at a gymnastics center.  This meant the kids had tons of room to run around, jump on things, chase each other, and have a blast.  Here are some action shots and a couple movies.

First is a picture of Bode going after Mr. Erik on one of the trampolines.  Lots of fun.
Next is a picture of Bode waiting patiently to jump around.  Note the wide spaces, the huge number of soft mats, and the open spaces.  Like I said, a kiddo's dreams.
Next up was the zip line.  We had to convince Bode to go on the ride.  Obviously, he was terrified.  Little man had a death grip on the rope.
Fortunately, he really enjoyed it, and wanted to ride some more.  I even had the presence of mind to make a movie.
He really seemed to like the zip line, and even tried to convince a friend that..."it wasn't that scary."  Very cute. The coup de gras was the foam pit.  The kids could get running starts and jump into the pit of foam.  The adults also jumped it and found getting out was harder than it seemed.
Here is another movie of Bode making a tumbling pass.
Finally, after the kiddos had tired themselves out, it was time for cake and ice cream.
Bode had an amazing time at the party, and he has requested his 5th birthday party be at the same locale.  We'll see if he's good enough :-)  No more football in the McGuirk household--simply too depressing!  Pleasant week to all.
