Graham's birthday party

We don't normally have birthday parties, but this year - since Graham really wanted to go to this place called the Main Event, we decided that he could invite a few friends to go with him.  Main Event is almost like a Dave & Busters, where there's bowling, arcade games, laser tag, and this one even has a rope course above the arcade!

We start the kids with laser tag.  And kids was really just our neighbors from 3 different families!
And while the kids played, Bobby and our neighbor friend enjoyed some bowling together:
I'm glad Natalie was able to give Bobby a run for his money!

The kids basically all bounced around the arcade after laser tag:
It was nice because there was a previous event and the entire place had been booked and only just reopened at 4pm. So when we showed up at 430pm, the place was still nice and quiet.  The kids literally had almost the whole place to themselves!
Okay, time for the rope course:
There's even a zipline!  It's so cute how Graham is being so careful on this:
And obviously being even more careful when walking on skinny "planks":
It's so funny how he grabs on to the pole when he gets to the end: 
Graham was definitely having a good time!
The kids :-)
I'm so glad Graham had a great time with his friends. There was also food followed by some little bundt cakes.  He didn't want a candle or a song, so we just left it at that.  Although, we did sing him Happy Birthday on his actual birthday the day before.  But no candle to blow out though. We do have extra bundt cakes - maybe he can blow one out with Bobby tomorrow.  It's Bobby turn to have his birthday! 

I'm still trying to sort out the bill with Main Event.  Kids were supposed to eat free with an adult entrĂ©e and I don't think we got that discount. And of course, I don't have the paper receipt. Anyhow, customer service has been quite nice (so far!).  

Let the celebrations continue tomorrow and then, I'll have my birthday in less than 2 weeks after that. Phew! It's no wonder my waistline keeps growing. LOL!!!
