Friend's Birthday Party

Collin spent the night last night at Mimi's house.  We did not plan this but he wanted to spend the night after we met her and the family for dinner on their side of town.  That was fine with us because he did not have plans in the morning or have to be anywhere with him.

After Mimi dropped him off after lunch, we went to a friend's birthday party at an indoor game place.  They bowled first.  A bunch of 5 - 8 year olds trying to bowl can be entertaining.  They did use bumpers so the scoring was higher because there were no gutter balls.  Collin threw the ball harder than the girls but slower than most of the boys.  He was almost one of the smallest so this did not help.  This did not matter though.  He did end up bowling really well and was close to the top for his lane.

Here he is throwing the bowling ball during his turn:

Next, they took a break to have pizza and cake before playing video games.  They were each given a card loaded with $5 which was about 4 games.  Collin and I played air hockey first.  He then walked around to see what games were available before selecting basketball.  I was surprised that he did get most of the balls in the hoop the first time.  The next time, he got about half in.

Here are the birthday boy and Collin riding motor cycles together.  Collin got 2nd and Foard got 10th.  Collin stayed on the road the whole time and drove really well.  Maybe the games on the phone really are teaching him something....naw!!!

He is not a very good shot.  He missed all but 3 targets the entire game.  I am fine with this.  :)

He did run out of money fast and wanted more.  I did give him $3 more and then we left because we needed to stop by Grandma H's house to pick up a few things for her (she is still in the hospital) before going home to rest.  We were all tired from the very busy week.
