Bode's Party

Bode is quickly approaching his XI birthday.  Like we have done in previous years, we held his official birthday party before his actual birthday since his big day usually falls around Thanksgiving.  Bode was off from school this entire week, so we had his party on Tuesday at Surge Fort Walton, which is the local trampoline park. 

The party was great--the boys (and girls) arrived and proceeded to jump and burn off some energy for two hours.  I tried to take some action photos.  First, Bode is gearing up with the appropriate socks.
Next, we have Bode doing...something.
Bode then did a little jousting...
and eventually made his way back to the long runway tramp.
He also fought Madison on the joust, but he didn't look to keen about fighting a girl.
At some point, we gathered up the kids and got them to our party room for pizza, drinks, and cake.  We got Bode a "Star Wars" cake, which was just a regular cake with a Darth Vadar mask.
We did make everyone sing...
and pose for a group picture (but a few kids headed back out to jump so we don't have the whole crew in the photo).
Overall, a great birthday--sort of a prelude to the big Thanksgiving holiday :-) 

Joey is recovering from his surgery.  He had a bit of a relapse, and we had to go to the ER on Sunday.  We thought he had hurt his knee because it was really swollen and he was acting abnormally.  He was diagnosed with an infection, so they loaded him up with antibiotics.  He was back to his normal self a couple days later and seems to be back on track to a full recovery.

Big day of turkey eating tomorrow--we stopped eating last night to prepare :-)  Pleasant Turkey Day to all.
