Saturday we had a joint birthday party for the boys at a kid's birthday party place called Hero's. Ben had been to a party there before and I had taken them to an open play, so they were both a bit familiar with it. We split the difference and had the party smack between both their birthdays, so Ben had to wait a few weeks after his and Nick has a few more weeks until his is officially 3. The place is great - you pretty much walk in with the kids and they do everything else! When we got there, the boys got to choice a shirt, bag or pillow case to color and have their friends sign. They both picked the bag and colored while waiting for their friends to arrive.
After everyone arrived, they started in the bouncy houses. They have 3 inflatables for the kids. It was awesome because our party hostess, Caroline, entertained the kids, kept them wrangled and even took the little ones (18-20mo) on the inflatable slide so they could do it too while mom and dad relaxed and watched.
They loved the big slide. Shocking that Nick liked it...
After about 20ish minutes on the inflatables, they moved over to the 'Sandlot' where they played parachute, balloons, tag, dance party and scooters.
Next they did some carnival games like ring toss and bowling where each kid got to pick a prize. The birthday boys got big stuffed animals. Then we moved into the 1950s room for pizza and cupcakes. They have 3 party rooms; a 1950s, 1970s and 1980s room. The kids all ate pizza and the the boys each got a cupcake tower with there age in cupcakes to blow out candles.
Hero's provided the pizza and cupcakes as part of the party. They also got candy to decorate their cupcakes.
The boys got some awesome gifts from all their friends and have been playing with all of their new games and toys since their party!
