Five years ago Marni missed her first birthday party due to a high fever that sent her to the hospital. Yesterday, Stella's birthday bash was nearly cancelled because Stella was still hanging onto a week-long fever.
We kept Stella home from school (again) in hopes that rest (and Motrin) would allow her to rally for the big event.
It was going to happen with or without her.
Luckily, by 2:30 Stella was rested, fever-free, and raring to go.
After viewing the mandatory safety video, the girls were led into bounce room 1 and the party got started.
I've never been to Bounce-U before, and I have to say that it's pretty cool. The girls ran from one bounce-castle to the next with Lisa and I following (and joining) along.
After 40 minutes in room 1, we were moved to the even more awesome room 2 which included an amazing climbing tower.
After another 40 minutes, the sweaty dozen were herded into the party room for pizza, soda and cake.
The final tally... 5 bandages dispensed. 1 ice pack applied. 1 nose bleed attended to.
And 12 very big smiles.
