We had Chandler's party today, right after school. Even though his birthday is 3 weeks away, we held it early in hopes of a better turnout (his real birthday falls during "spring break" so many of his classmates might be on vacation). I had won a birthday party held at Monkey Joes in a silent auction, and I was really impressed. It was easy and all the kids had fun!
Monkey Joe himself made an appearance and gave Chandler a t-shirt. Only one of the children was afraid of Monkey Joe...he didn't stick around long.
I like this picture of Chandler. He was so happy with all the attention focused on him during the "Happy Birthday" song. He methodically blew out the candles one-by-one.
One of the "perks" of having your birthday at Monkey Joes is the ticket grab. They let Chandler, and he picked his brother, Brighton, to go inside a phone-booth type box and grab little slips of paper on it that are swirling around because of a fan. He had a few minutes to grab as many tickets as he could. He did quite well and got over $18 in prize money and also a free pass for 10 visits to Monkey Joes. That will be something fun for us this summer, I'm sure.
Here Chandler and friends count out the tickets and decide on prizes.
Four brothers.
One fun birthday party.
