Natalie's Gymnastics Birthday Party

In addition to the party we had at home with the family, Natalie had a birthday party with her friends at the place where she goes to gymnastics- Planet Gymnastics.  It's a great little place for a party- kids get lots of exercise, the folks who work there do all of the cleanup, and all you have to do is bring a cake!  DONE!


Natalie was THRILLED that one of the two coaches for the party was Miss Holly, her teacher from this past year!  Here she is explaining the rules to all of the girls.


Natalie is my little dare devil.  Above, she had to jump several feet and grab onto the bar, then swung into the foam pit!  You'd never find Grant doing this!


"Hey Gaby, you come to this gym often?"


I somehow caught this cute picture of Lyndsey giving Natalie a big hug.  Lyndsey and Natalie were really good friends this year!  They're both really sad that they're going to different elementary schools.


Next up was a game where you had to throw the blocks to the other side and try to get as many on the other side as possible.  Like their hot potatoes or something.  The team that has the most blocks on their side actually loses.


The birthday kid always gets to be put in a jumping/flying contraption and swing around the gym like they are flying.  Miss Holly is strapping Natalie in.  When she was swinging back and forth, Natalie was saying, "I'm flying!  I'm a real fairy!"  SO cute.


 Because we had the 5 pm time slot, we provided pizza for the kids (all girls except Grant and Stanley!).  Natalie got to sit in the "queen chair" while we ate pizza, cake and ice cream!


 I got this AMAZING cake from this great little bakery in Westborough, the Bagel Bistro.  Amazing, huge, and beautiful cakes, and they aren't super expensive.  I highly recommend them!  They are actually very tasty too!  Happy 5th birthday to my Sweet Pea!
