Party at Wazoo's!

Today we had Nicholas' birthday party at Wazoo's Inflatable Center. It's a giant warehouse type of room that holds 9 inflatable bounce houses. These aren't the typical square bounce houses either. These have slides, obstacle courses, basketball goals. One is even shaped like a giant submarine with an big octopus on top. Another is shaped like a pirate ship.

Nicholas mostly invited his friends from school but he also invited some friends from church as well as some other friends that he has known from various places. I wasn't sure if everyone would make it because it is a bit of a drive but there was a good turn out and all the kids seem to have an awesome time. I brought sandwiches, pretzels, juice boxes to give the kids a light lunch (not too much food since they are going to be bouncing!). Then we all sang Happy Birthday to Nicholas and had cupcakes. Then it was back to bouncing! Even several mommies and daddies got in on some bouncing fun!

Nicholas' friends brought him lots of presents but no one was sitting still long enough to open them at the party. So we let him open them at home after the party. he got more Transformer toys (some with a Star Wars theme!), games, a Bibleman DVD and costume. I think his favorite present from his friends was a little camping backpack that contains a sleeping bag, water bottle, and flashlight. He has been taking his naps in the sleeping bag and loves to pack everything back into his backpack and carry it around with him. He doesn't realize how far it sticks out on his back though and he's constantly bumping into things with the backpack on!
