Our big event today was the first of a series of birthday parties for Alice’s crew. It was over at a child’s exercise facility called “The Little Gym”. It is similar to the old Ants in the Pants minus the game arcade and it’s still open for business. The party was 90 minutes and the first 60 went by like summer vacation for the kids. There was much generic running around and jumping, along with some organized activities. After that was 30 minutes of cake distribution and eating. My strongest memory of the event is that the icing on the cake turned some of the kids’ tongues solid green. Not green tinted but literally solid green. I didn’t manage to get a good picture though — the kids would keep their tongues restrained when they noticed my camera.
Alice had a good time — she almost broke in to tears when I told her that it was almost time to go. That’s for the best as she has at least one and possibly two more parties at the same place this month.
