Ashlyn's Party

   For her birthday party this year, we let Ashlyn pick where she wanted to have it.  She picked a gymnastics place again this year.  I guess she had so much fun last year, she wanted to do it again.  We picked a different place this time that is much closer to where we live.  Ashlyn also got to invite girls from her class. She was very excited to have her friends from school come celebrate her birthday with her.
      The gymnastics place has a huge open gym area.  The party host took the kids to three different stations over the course of an hour.  They got to go down a huge bounce house slide, ride in a cool swing, jump on trampolines, and jump into a huge foam pit.  Those girls sure had an awesome time!  I wish I could have bottled up the adorable giggles that kept coming out of their mouths.  They were just too sweet.
     After an hour of play time, it was time for cake and presents.  We headed up to a party room to finish the party.  I have always made Ashlyn's birthday cakes.  This year I was not inspired so we just bought one. She didn't mind a bit.  The party guests filled up on lots of cake and juice.  Then Ashlyn got to open her presents. She got lots of great gifts.  She got a lot of Lego sets which is awesome because she loves Legos!
    Ashlyn's party was absolutely perfect.  I don't think I could have asked for a better way for her to celebrate turning six with her friends.  A great time was had by all!

Dawson really liked the trampoline

This swing was the coolest thing ever.  The girls absolutely loved it! They let out such squeals of delight and joy when they got pushed.  I decided that they need a swing like that for adults to go on. 

What fun!

They could not get enough!

Heading to the next station

Listening to some rules.  Ashlyn was too sweet holding Dawson and Ella.

Trampoline time!

Dawson jumping again

The ball pit was so much fun!  Since Ashlyn was the birthday girl, she got to jump in first.

Look at all those kids in the pit.

Dawson got a great kick out of being thrown in
