June 18 Erin's Party, Part 1

Saturday Afternoon:  Today was Erin's birthday party over at Altitude Trampoline Park! Everyone was supposed to arrive at 12:30 and we were given TWO hours of jumping, a nice party area with tables and signage, and Erin even got a FREE Altitude shirt (she was thrilled about this!). Erin invited friends from her preschool class, as well as from her Sunday School class. She was so excited!

I took SO MANY pictures! As usual, I am quite unskilled with action shots, so more than half of the 130 pictures I took were ... totally out of focus and consequently worthless. Here are a few pictures I salvaged of the beginning of the part--mostly of all of the kiddos jumping. Emma and Kaity were invited, which made taking pictures all that more interesting to see if there was any incident where I could actually shoot SIX grandkids in one shot. I don't think I accomplished it, but I tried.

This is Erin with her dear friend, Cecilia (and Kaity too). Cecilia is such a slight little thing--she had a little bit of trouble keeping up with all of the running and jumping of the other children, but she did just fine.

ERIN!
CALLAGHAN!
Emma and Kaity watched over Callaghan off and on ... they rarely get to see him, so they took advantage of the opportunity.


Callaghan LOVED throwing and catching the foam cubes.
I was so pleased that Emma entered into all of the rough playing ... she looked like she had a very good time. She did admit later that it was exhausting. YES.
Dylan told me that Callaghan LOVES balls ... can you tell?

All of the kids spent a lot of time in the dodge ball area.



AIDAN! Look at the expression on his adorable face!
These four ...
Look at Callaghan and Emma cracking up! The little girl on the right is a good friend of Erin's from her preschool class--I cannot remember her name.
Mostly, Dylan was in charge of this wee person. Kelly was busy with entertaining other guests, so Dylan kept a close watch to make sure Callaghan was safe.
Dodge ball can get pretty rough!
Aidan makes himself completely at home and comfortable here ...
This little doll ...

Kaity--who is SO GOOD with her cousins. They LOVE her so much.




And Brendan? I was super proud of him! After a few times visiting and jumping at Altitude, he finally accomplished what he has been trying to do. He can now jump on the trampolines and get himself up on the wall!
See? He did it!
Here are Brendan and Kaity up on the high wall ...
I love you, Brendan ... what a dear, sweet person you are!
Whoa, Kaity!
Here goes Brendan!

Our Aidan, who is the most tickelish person on the planet, was chased around by Emma and Kaity (to his delight) and retrieved out of the foam pit numerous times.
Baby Cal wandering back into the dodge ball area ... he just loves to play ball!


Look at how LITTLE Callaghan is!
I love his soft little body ... look at his cute little legs! 

More of the party--next post.
