Kale's Birthday!!

Kale decided to have a family party at Trampoline Haven.  So, on Saturday we went to the trampoline place, and it was pretty cool.  They had all these different areas of trampolines.  One area had just big long trampolines and then at the end (and on the sides) there were trampolines on the walls, so you could just bounce all over the place.  There was a dodgeball area, a bunch of trampolines that landed you in a big foam pit so you could be brave and do whatever tricks you wanted, a zip-line (that also landed in a foam pit), and trampoline basketball.  The kids had such a great time!  They especially loved the foam pits and zip-line.  Kale loved showing us all his new ways to jump off the zip-line at the end -- he felt like he was pretty daring and cool.

 

 

 

 

Unfortunately, at the very end of trampoline fun, Sky landed weird and twisted her leg somehow.  She was limping around for a couple days, but is doing just fine now.

 Here are a few pictures of Kale trying out his birthday toys -- oh, and also Sky.

 Check out this sweet cake.  Kale was certain he had to have this airplane cake that he found in one of my cookbooks (which is weird because he doesn't care one bit about planes or anything).  I tried to talk him into some different (a.k.a. easier) choices, but it had to be this one.  I think it turned out pretty good for my first effort at a cool cake.

 Of course, Kale had to have birthday cake with his cool Ninja Turtles mask on.

Kale is so happy to be 5 because it means he can finally go to Kindergarten.  He is pretty psyched.

And finally, here are a few random and hilarious pictures of Kale and Sky.  I came out of the laundry room one day and found Kale outside in this get-up (notice his jump rope lasso) -- because obviously, this is what real cowboys wear.

 Sky ate none of the dinner that we gave her last night, but felt perfectly happy eating all the leftover noodles out of this big strainer with the serving spoon.  What a nut!
