Ethan's Birthday Party / The Fun Bus

Two weeks ago, we attended the birthday of party of Madelyn's best bud, Ethan.  His mother mentioned his birthday party to me in late Summer and said she had reserved this thing called the "Fun Bus."  Griff laughed when I told him this because whenever we get together with Ethan's family, we have to schedule two months in advance.

At any rate, here it is!

The Fun Bus!

A little stretching before all the fun really gets started.  The Fun Bus provides an hour of instructor-led playtime while the parents wait on the curb peaking in through the windows.

Here comes Madelyn through the tunnel and down the slide. She also jumped on the trampoline (a lot), swung on the high bar, played basketball, and made music with all her friends.  Everyone, including the instructor, told me she was the superstar of the party and participated in EVERYTHING.

Here I come!

And the finale - sliding out the back of the bus.  Of course, she got down and said, "More? More?" So, she got one more turn before heading back inside the house.

Like all good birthday celebrations, cupcakes were included.  Daycare has trained these children to sit at the table and wait patiently when they want their food!

Mmm...cupcakes.  Happy 2nd birthday, Ethan!  Thanks for inviting us to your Fun Bus party!
