Rock Climbing Birthday Party

Last year we celebrated Wesley's birthday a month late.  This year we celebrated a month early.  We wanted to have the party before school got out for summer and people started traveling.

We had the party at Sportrock, an indoor climbing gym.  The kids got to rock climb for 90 minutes and then we had cake and juice.  

Lydia is too young to rock climb; you have to be six years old to climb.  She went to see a movie with Alejandro's mom and his sister.  Our next door neighbor kept Josiah during the party.
Here are six, out of the eleven, kids listening to instructions before getting started.
Wesley was the first one to climb.
There he goes.
He first tried rock climbing on a cruise last year.  He has been to two kids nights at Sportrock. The instructors are very good with the kids.
There he goes down.

Wesley wanted a Star Wars cake.  Most of the kids in his class seem very into Star Wars now.

It was a fun party and very easy to host.  I think all the kids really enjoyed the climbing.  We put Star Wars Pez in the goody bags.
