3rd Birthday Party, Part 2

When an active little man turns 3 but his mom is 1 1/2 weeks away from having a baby, what sort of birthday party can you expect? Well, one where Mom doesn't have to run around (since that doesn't really happen at this point) or stress (there is enough of that in the house right now getting ready for baby 2). Hence, Gymnastics! Ben goes to a gymnastics class, or 'nastics' as he calls it, every week and loves it. So... after lunch and play time at the beach, we all caravaned to his gymnastics studio a few blocks away for an hour of nastics and cake. At nastics, the parents had an hour 'off' to chat with the other parents while the kids jumped on the trampolines, played in the foam pit, balanced on the balance beams etc etc etc. All in all, a really fun way for the kids AND parents to spend an hour!

Cake Time is literally the highlight of all parties for Ben so we had a rocket shaped cake made for his big day. He loved it and the fact that it was cookies n' cream flavor didn't hurt!
