Ever since we visited the 9th Street BMX park last fall, Alex has wanted his birthday to be there. And since my kids only get a friend party every other year, I knew I had to make it happen...and I did!
Unpredictable February weather, asking parents to drive their kids 30 minutes downtown, and hoping to score the one and only picnic table at the park, all the odds were against us. But the rain stopped and the sun shined! 16 kids showed up ready to ride! The locals were more than happy to let us take over the picnic table! And my homemade Lego BMX cake was even a little cute!
The kids rode until their hair was drenched. Band aids were passed out as much as snacks and water. And at the end of the 2 hour party, the kids even helped shovel dirt for some new ramps.
Now I am in the mood to find RAD from the 80's for our next movie night!
