Pump It Up

Huston and Emery had another combined birthday party again this year. We had it at Pump It Up. The theme was a monkey theme- since they both like Curious George. The location is a big warehouse with blow-up slides and such. They had a blast! Even the adults had a great time! Emery loved going down the slides, but going up them was a different story. She wasn't able to suck her thumb and go up the ladder of the slide. She had her grandfather (my dad) wrapped around her pinky finger. She had him holding her going up the slide (while she was busy with her thumb) and sitting on his lap going down (still sucking the thumb). What a hoot! We played for an hour and a half and then ate cake. I think Huston and Emery were overwhelmed at first but they quickly got the hang of things!! Once we were in our party room, I thought it would be fun to get a group photo of all the kids... HA! The candles were in place and the group sang Happy Birthday while Emery clapped (and enjoyed the attention) and Huston blew out the candles (waaaay before the song was over). After the party was over the kids got to take home a monkey shaped cookie and a Barrel of Monkies game home with them. Thanks everyone for such a fun time!!
