Skate City

It is birthday season for LTs friends, turning the big 3! Last weekend we had two birthday parties, one for Joe and one for Mia. Joe did his at skate city with his friend Maggie. Neither Bri nor I had been to skate city since we were kids and honestly, not much has changed. The carpet has clearly been replaced, but only by the same confetti eighties carpet. The music is the same old 80s dance party, the lights are the same and even the skates are the old brown heavy heavy skates. Needless to say, it brought back a lot of memories!
LT had never been rollar skating before. I think he was a little unsure of what to think when I put these heavy clunkers with wheels that are hard to control on hi. He was a good sport about it though and we even managed to make it around the rink one time!

Mostly he just enjoyed playing skeeball with Ewan and Z. I don't think anyone actually got a ball in the target, but they could have cared less. They were finally allowed to throw balls, inside!
The skating and skeeball was followed by some yummy pizza, ice cream and cake.
The ice cream was a huge hit because it had sprinkles on it, rainbow sprinkles. Who doesn't like those??? LT didn't eat a bit of the ice cream, just the sprinkles.
Then it was time to blow out the candles. Joe and Maggie each had their own side of the cake. LT talked about the red frosting for a few hours after the party, must have been pretty special.




One of the funnier parts of the party, for me at least, was Joe and LT jumping like little beans through the food service area. Yes, I am a bad mom to and let the do this while I took videos rather than stopping it, but it was funny! The videos don't even do it justice, but they were having a blast.
