The girls went to their first friend birthday party this weekend and had a blast. The neighbor's daughter, Julia, turned 4 a few weeks ago and they had her birthday party at a local gymnastics studio (gym? arena? warehouse?). We got there just as they were starting a little obstacle course and clearly all the other kids were more used to this stuff but the girls jumped right in after watching a few of the other kids race across.
Then everyone moved over to this giant foam pit where they swung from a rope over the pit and then could decide whether to jump off and into the foam blocks, or hang on and have the worker catch them when the rope swung back to the edge. The girls watched a few kids do both ways- hanging on and letting go, and then each tried a turn just holding onto the rope and swinging. When Olivia's second turn came she said she was going to let go and she did! She jumped right into the foam blocks and crawled all the way out. I was definitely impressed considering she's never done anything like that before. Then it was Lucy's turn and she went for it too! They loved swinging out over the pit and jumping in and did it over and over again.
There was also a trampoline for them to jump on and then another balance beam course before heading up front for pizza, cake and presents. It was a fun couple of hours and the girls really enjoyed doing new things with their friends.
