Ryan started out the day not listening to me and saying "I'm the birthday boy, I can do what I want." Ummmm...yeah, that didn't go over big. We had a little disussion and things improved after that!
We took 6 kids to Sky Zone in Plymouth for 60 minutes of jump time. 2 of his cousins met us there, so we had a total of 8 jumpers. We checked in, put on our rental shoes, and the kids waited {im}patiently for their 10:00 start. They couldn't wait to get on the course. It was pretty full, but due to the size, it didn't feel crowded at all. There are several areas to jump in - a foam block pit, a 'main' course that is just huge - filled with individual trampolines all connected with padding, a toddler jump area, and a dodgeball arena. The kids spent most of their time between the main course and the dodgeball arena. They were hot, sweaty, and tired after 60 minutes, but all would have stayed had we let them. It really was a great place and I'd love to go back - fun to try something new. None of the kids had ever been there before!
We came back to our house to do a pizza party here. Then the kids played, opened gifts, and had cake and ice cream. It was a great day and Ryan had a blast. That's what it's all about when you are 7! Happy Birthday, Buckshot - we love you!!!! XOXO
My fridge was FULL the night before the party!
The food was prepared, the decorations were out, it was midnight and I called it a night, knowing it would be an early morning!!! :)

Ryan was a blur the entire time we were there:
Carter was the easiest to photograph - he stayed the closest! :)
