This past weekend we celebrated Aiden's birthday with our family and friends at Sky High Sports.  Ever since I heard about Sky High Sports, back in the beginning of the year, I knew that I had to have Aiden's party there.  I've been meaning to take him there before his party to check it out and see if he likes it, but it came so quickly that we never got around to it.  So, if you know me, booking a party at a place I've never been to, is well..... just so not like me.  I was a little scared, but the place turned out to be amazing for the kids!  And oh so easy for me.  It was really strange just showing up with a cake, and nothing else.  It was pretty simple, and the staff/party-host were all super super friendly.

I originally wanted to do it on a weeknight, simply given the fact that it was cheaper, but that didn't work for our schedule.  Especially since having a kindergartener.  Also because I heard the weekends are packed.  Boy was it packed!  It's seriously the place to be right now for the young crowd.  There was a nice calmer kids area, a foam pit area, a dodgeball area, and then a main arena with people of ALL AGES!  Liam did great and loved loved loved the kids area, it was perfect for him.  Aiden and his buddies had fun running between all the areas.  I'm pretty sure that all the kids had a blast, and that most of the boy parents will be taking there boys there again sometime soon.  :)

If you haven't been... you must go check it out.  I'm not gonna lie... it's a little pricy for a party, and their 'party' packages don't really make sense when you do the math.  If you just want to walk in and jump, it's not bad at $10 an hour to jump.  Aiden had a blast, so it was all worth it.  :)  Plus I didn't have to do anything, which is worth a lot right now.  :)  Your kids can not NOT have a good time there.

Here are some photos from the night...

Here are all the Bengard boy cousins, with 2 more baby boys coming in early 2012!!  Between Alex and his cousin there will be 7 boys!!  This photo is also missing one more cousin's baby boy... so that makes it 8 boys... to only 3 girls!!!

And of course since I couldn't go without any details, I made the only things I could to coordinate.  I searched high and low for a cool cake, even tossed the idea of getting a custom made cake to match the invitation I made.  But then remembered the cool layer cake that I love so much!  Perfect, easy, and cheap!!  The cake layers matched the invitation, and of course it was dressed up with a "Happy Birthday" pennant banner to match.  The last minute item I added was Aiden's shirt!  T-shirt from Michael's last minute, Iron-on numbers from Michael's as well.  And then I custom cut out a figure from the invitation, added the phrase, "It's my birthday", with the use of Iron transfer paper,... and wala!
