Not bad for a 71-year-old gal! The sign said adults should be prepared to help children out of the pit, but they didn't say anything about little old ladies. Perhaps they don't think we do these things?
There was also a zip line (there's video but no stills). In short, it was a lot of fun, and I didn't mind coming in last.
The kids decided they wanted to try "soccer pool" after the golf game. The birthday boy won at both games, golf and pool.
The birthday cake was an apricot torte, and it was deliciously worth every single calorie!
Life is good! Keep on Sparking!
Birthday...bravery...bravo!!! 💪🏼🎂💞
ReplyDeleteLOL! If one can laugh at one's own foibles, it's a good thing, right?
DeleteGlad that you joined in the festivities and had a great time! Memorable day for all of you! I’d probably still be trying to get out of the foam pit LOL! Karen (Eissa7)
ReplyDeleteThey had grab bars on that pit, but I don't have the wingspan to reach them from where I landed! It was like having pillows under my legs, I was in stirrups... laughing while all this was going on did not help with concentration, either!

ReplyDeleteWhen a niece was 7 and her brother 5, they had a combined birthday party at a place similar to that. Several of us adults decided to join in the fun but quickly learned that was against the estabishment's rules. The birthday kids kept asking us to rejoin them.
Mmm - apricot torte brought back memories of my Grandmother's apricot fried pies.

This one was for all ages, and the equipment was sturdy enough to handle my 6-foot 2-inch-tall son! I'll bet your grandmother's pies were the best!
DeleteApple, peach & apricot from trees on our rural property -- whichever one she fixed was my favorite at the time!
DeleteAwesome. Brought back memories of baking rhubarb custard from our backyard supply, and tart cherry pies from our own tree, too. There are just some memories that are worth preserving forever!
DeleteGood going, Barb, going down that slide. Ah well . . . getting a little stuck, that’s par for the course, right!?!
ReplyDeleteOh the apricot torte looks absolutely worth every single kcal!
Hope DS had a very happy birthday!

Thanks. It was about as painless as it could be for one of those "over the hill" years!
DeleteOh, how great that you joined in the fun!!! And that you had a helper to pry you out. :D
ReplyDeleteThat apricot torte, oh my gracious. I'm glad you had it.
If I ever do it again, I will know how to "swim" out of the foam cube pit, having watched a child do it! Live and learn, right? And yes, very glad to have a "big strapping son" to help his old mother!
DeleteWow, I want to go there! Will they take 70 yo kids, too!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that can be arranged. LOL! And if took me, I'm sure they'd take you, too!
