This year Shaylin really wanted to go to a place called Pump It Up in Tempe. They have two huge rooms full of large blow up toys for bouncing, sliding, climbing, etc. You spend 45 minutes in each of the rooms and then you can have a pizza party afterwards in a separate room and open presents. We went about a month ago for Shaylin's friend Brady's birthday. After that, Shaylin really wanted to have her party there.
We brought our camera, but didn't realize that the memory card wasn't in it, which apparently makes it much less effective when it comes time to take pictures. Luckily our sister-in-law Leah had brought hers and was nice enough to take a bunch of pictures of the festivities.
Here's a few pictures of Shaylin playing on the various toys:
Climing up the wall in one of the obstacle courses...

Working on her form in the little floating ball batting cage...

Squeezing through an obstacle on another obstacle course...

Trying to run up a wall and grab one of the velcro flags...

Bronson also had fun hanging out and really enjoyed going down the big slide with Matt, but we don't have a picture of that. So here's one of him and Jayna's brother Jayson instead :)

Emmalyn also had a blast. Here she is in one of the bouncers...

Everybody had a good time watching the kids (and adults) try to grab flags off of the velcro wall...

Jayson and Shaylin at the bottom of the big slide. The stairs are to the left of them and the slide is on the right....

They even had one of the little plastic cars that Emmalyn loves...

Shaylin was able to invite 14 of her friends, so we had Christian, Declan, Jessica, Indianna, Isaiah, Savannah, Sydney, Anthony, Adrian, Brady, Brianna, Savannah, Maycie, and Raiden. The other good thing about it was that all the playing tired the kids out.

Shaylin got to open her presents on this little blow up throne. Emmalyn got to sit up there with her for a while too.

Shaylin is so funny when she opens presents. She gets so excited and then she usually holds whatever it is up as high as she can so everyone can see...

Although it certainly wasn't the least expensive option for a party, it was definitely worth it because not only did Shaylin and Emmalyn have a ton of fun going there again but all their friends and their friend's parents seemed to have a really good time too.
