Yesterday was the kids party. And WOW was it fun!!! One thing this old woman has learned though, is that I need to spend more time with young children. I was picking up 30-40 pound little ones, bending, stretching, sitting on the floor, rolling around, squatting to wipe mouths and generally contorting my middle aged body.
In the night I woke with the first mild muscle twinges that reminded me that I am not quite as young as I used to be! This morning in the shower I let the HOT water fall and I am feel a little more nubile!
My nephew planned a great game for these little ones, who ranged in age from 15 months to 6 years old. It was the get through the fire test. Basically it taught them how to get through a smokey room on their bellies, but it was full of fun stuff, like going down a slide, climbing a small ladder, tossing a water balloon, crawling under another ladder that had cloth flames on it, and then using silly string to put out the fire on the fire wall! The kids did that over and over and over again and they laughed and cheered and loved it.
Parents and the kids all enjoyed the day, with a pizza lunch and Grandma Honey’s cake (that’s what they call my sister).
A friend of my nephew, Tim, is a fire fighter and he brought over his gear for the kids to try on. Here is birthday boy Luke in the gear!!
Now, my sister is quite the ham, and not to be outdone by her grandson, so she hopped right into the fire fighter’s gear and grabbed little Molly.
The party was so much fun and the kids all had such a good time. I’m so glad I came down to share this day with them.
