Grant's Birthday Party with his Friends

Grant had his first ever "friend" birthday party this year.  We had it at Playtown Express in Southborough.  We booked 2 months in advance and STILL only got a Sunday evening party.  But that was about all there was if you wanted a private party. 

We had this entire place to ourselves!  We only had about 10 kids there (total including mine).  Since he's only 4, I didn't invite a ton.  Maybe next year!  When I first walked in, I thought, "Why did we book this place?" because we own a bouncy castle and Grant won't come near it.  He's afraid of the noise that the motor makes to keep in inflated.  This place is pretty much all made up of motorized bouncy castles!

But, he loved it!  Here are Grant and his buddies playing in one of the jumpy houses.  

 The boys were running back and forth on this thing (we have one of these at gymnastics) and crashing into each other.  It was hilarious.  They're such boys!  Natalie tried to get in and play with them but even though she's a lot bigger than all of them, she told us these boys were too rough!

Listen... Mommies can have fun too!

Grant gives this party two thumbs up!

Natalie had fun for a while, but got bored pretty quickly.  I probably should have invited a friend for her to play with rather than a bunch of 4-year-olds.

After about an hour and 15 minutes of play time, we had pizza, Hoodsie cups and cake from the Bistro in Westborough (formerly Bagel Bistro).  Grant got to sit in the big birthday chair and all of the kids crowded around him.  As you can see, he's not quite sure what to make of this. 

This was his cake- pretty much the same cake we got him last year, but he loves it!  I love the Bistro's cakes.  They're always yummy!

Happy birthday little buddy!
