SIX!

We love October for many reasons ... the weather, the leaves, all-things-pumpkin ... and BIRTHDAYS! Reid was first up to celebrate with his birthday today. We have a "system" where we celebrate the boys' odd number birthdays with parties and even number birthdays with adventures. Since Reid turned 6, he selected a day out in Denver at the Arapahoe Sports Center. Bumper cars, laser tag, ice skating, inflatable bounce houses, kiddie rides ... you name it! He invited his friend Cole to join us, and the boys had a blast! At the end of the day, Reid exclaimed, "This was the BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!"

 Extreme Bumper Cars! 

 Crazy Bungee Cord Race Game

The object was to run out as far as you could

to stick the velcro block on the center row.

Then the bungee would zip you back.

 The Guys

 

May the force be with you ... at Chipotle.

Reeeeeeeach!

 We had to wait a bit until the ice rink opened,

so Reid opted for full winter gear

(and every shade of green)

while bumper car driving.

 Learning to Ice Skate

 Slowly but surely, 

he's getting the hang of it!

 Dad's turn to skate!

Cole hits the ice!

 Hitching a ride with Dad is much
easier than actually skating!

 Someone is sooooo excited about turning SIX!
