Lily's 5th Birthday Party - January 25th, 2014
Alex joins Erin at her classmate Lily's birthday party
Start the competition after the stretching is complete
Erin takes the lead as she leaves the rings
Alex has an event heat as the hit the balance bowls
Over to the rope swing available for today's party
The big kid sneaks in the first ride
Erin's turn to go for a swing
And to think she was afraid of the rope the 1st half year
Fun on the trampoline beside the rope swing
Trampoline might just be more fun than the swing
Erin helps birthday girl Lily get some momentum
Lily's grandma gets some action photos
Alex heads to the birthday party bouncehouse
This is not available on regular gym days
Time to head back to the rope swing where Erin's at
Erin loves to take many swings across the treacherous pit
Birthday girl gets comforted after a fall
Erin makes sure that Lily is OK
Erin joins Alex on the nearby trampoline
One at a time on the trampoline please
Alex goes back to the foam cube pit rope swing
Use the knot as a chair and oscillate
Get the camera ready for my dismount, daddy!
Two flips with no splash earns a perfect 10
Erin auditions for a job as rope swing administer
Send them on and bring them back home
Erin's turn for a swing, give me a good push!
Smile for daddy and his camera
Back and forth over multiple trips
We need one of these in our back yard!
Alex tries out the horizontal bar over the foam cubes
Not quite ready for a full 360° spin over the bar
Next over to the rings
Working on a big arc
This works on a swingset so why not the rings?
Ready for the dismount . . . nope
Back to the horizontal bar where the landing is more fun
Show daddy what I'm learning at gymnastics
Alex can do a flip over the low horizontal bar
Group party activity over at the parachute
Lily gets in the middle while the guests fluff the chute
Several run across underneath with the chute up high
Lily stands in the middle with the chute down low
All climb under and sit on the edges with the chute high
Lily pops her head out of the chute with all underneath
Almost get a group photo as the gym activities end
Over to the party room for the birthday song with candles
My Little Pony cake with castle and candle blown out
Chocolate cake, cookies and CapriSun
Both Alex & Lily where tired of birthday party pizza
Alex enjoys chips & dip while Lily opens her gifts
Erin gifts a Mickey Mouse Greenhouse - Happy Birthday!
