Lexi's 5th Birthday Party - March 8th, 2014


Neighbor Lexi invites us to a gymnastics birthday party

Lexi and Erin will start the races facing each other

Lexi gets the upper hand and bolts to the pit

Alex and neighbor James will have the next race

Alex & James are even until the tube crawl!

Erin heads straight to the rope swing, her favorite!

She will spend the most time swinging over the pit

Yep, you can always find me on the rope swing, daddy!

Alex leaves the trampoline to Erin and Lexi

Alex loves to swing on the rings

Alex has strong arms from her gymnastics classes

She also loves to swing on the parallel bars

Get the camera ready for my dismount, OK . . . Go!

Missed it, but not Alex on the swing &: Erin behind her

Alex's coach Sheyanne gives her push

Look for alligators before dropping into the pit

Erin gives the rings a go

Woo Hoo, look at me!   I am swinging!

Back to the rope swing pit

Less arm strength and more momentous fun!

Alex works on her bar spins

Her best activity during her gym classes

She can really spin around the bar well

Erin heads back to the rings for more elevation

Try for an Alex & Lexi shot but she is little shy

Alex and Erin try out the balance beam

Alex has a little more practice

But Erin is catching up with her

Alex gets one more rope swing before group activities

Over to the parachute for group birthday bonding

Lift, pull, lift, pull, lift, pull!

Lexi hits the center hole while Alex & Becca watch

The parachute is pulled away after gathering underneath

Inside for cake and candle lighting

Happy birthday dear Lexi, happy birthday to you

Ice cream and blue kool-aid - NICE!

Alex eats ice cream with neighbor James

Erin eats ice cream with neighbors Lexi and Becca

Our gift to Lexi: pony purse and fingernail polish

Door prizes are balls!   Happy Birthday Lexi!
