Kevin's Birthday!

Seriously! How am I married to a 38 year old!

We had such a fun birthday celebration with Kevin! We went to a place called Hidden Cove about 30 minutes from here. They have inflatables, bumper cars, go-karts, rock climbing, mini-golf, arcades, and more. We were there for 6 hours! A good time was had by all!


We were the only ones on this inflatable. In fact, it wasn't very busy so we moved freely through the entire place without having to wait in lines or be crowded. Kevin had as much fun as the kids. I was so proud of Patrick. He typically won't go in bounce houses, but because it was only his family he got brave. It was so good for his stability and his nervousness. I love to see him try new things!

Ella Jane was very cute. She couldn't stand up at first, but tried and tried until she could walk across the bouncer. Of course she was laughing so hard it wasn't easy to stay standing.

Putting giant mallets in their hands typically wouldn't be the best idea, but I'm happy to report that no one got hurt!

Patrick got on the go-karts, another first for him! Again, so proud of him trying new things!

Isabelle did great on the rock climbing wall. She got pretty high before letting go, but tried over and over. I'm pretty darned impressed! No fear of heights in that girl!

Mini-golf was interesting with 4 kids. Isabelle has the perfect golf attitude... lousy! She was crabby with every bad shot and then finally smiling when she got a good hit. At one point she even threw her club on the the ground! "I hate golf. I hate golf. I hate golf. Nice shot! I love golf!" The boys kept moving ahead and not really following the rules, so we just decided to throw rules out the window and play for fun. Jack and I each got a hole in one!!! (Daddy didn't -- Ha HA). It's not exactly easy to play a real game when the little ball stealer (a.k.a Ella Jane) kept running off with our golf balls. Pretty funny!

Ella Jane walked along with brick border as if it was a balance beam. We were pretty impressed by this. She has a daring side to her!

Kevin enjoyed his chocolate chocolate cake!

Happy 38th birthday Kevin!
