Birthday Party at Planet Rock!

Dinosaurs and rock climbing. A six-year-old's dream! Nate hosted a few other kindergartners and his sister, of course, at Planet Rock for his 6th birthday. It was a pretty big deal since this was his first 'friend' or kid birthday party. Celebrating with cake and our cousins has been sufficient in the past. Nate's school debut has amped up our birthday circuit invitations and obligations though. With his recent obsession with rock climbing and an affordable and easy package offer from the local climbing gym we decided to let him have a real kid birthday party! A quick Google search on the Internet informed me that it is appropriate to invite the same number of children as the age of the child. What a great rule! We had a Dinosaur cake made to order for the birthday boy. Cake and ice cream and other snacks proved to be a great reward after those kids scaled the walls. They got an instructional session, fitted for shoes and harnesses and away they went. Their little brains were clickety clacking and their little muscles were definitely getting a work out. Even Tessa did the zip line!

The Climbers! Cousin Cole, Nate, Kyle, Zachary, Gerzon and Owen.
