The Bounce House

We had Ella's 6th birthday party at The Bounce House at the Pavilion. We had a wonderful turnout of friends, which made it extra special.   We had the following friends join us Ava, Olivia Kate, Tessa, Sara, Stella and Colton, Jackson and Claire, Jamie, and Ethan

Mary Catherine having a great time.

Ella and Tessa hanging out.  What fun!!

Wesley's first ride down the big slide.  I have to admit, I was scared to let him go down by himself.  My dear friend, Tobie, said, "He can't, or you won't let him?"  I thought for a minute and realized she was right.  So, I asked Clint to go down with him a couple of times and then we unleashed him.  And boy did he have fun!! 

He proved that he is a big boy and did it by himself.  I stood in amazement as he proceed by himself...over and over and over again!!

Then it was eating time.  The kids enjoyed some pizza first.  Then we had birthday cake and ice cream.  Here is Ella getting ready to blow out her candles!

After cake and ice cream, the kids decided to go and play for a little longer.  Since we were out of time at the party, we decided to talk all of the presents home to open them.  I hate that we didn't get to share in the joy and excitement with her friends, but it did work out well to open them at home.  Mary Catherine had a lot fun seeing all of the Tinker Bell, Princess and artsy stuff that Ella received.  Thanks so much to all of her friends!!!!
