Mom's Birthday

Sunday, we celebrated Mom's birthday at Itz!  Itz is a place with games, bowling, a few rides, pizza, etc.  A place to have a good time!  They recently renovated it and it was so nice and we had the best time!

We ate lunch and had cake first.





We forgot the candles so Roslyn made digital candles on her phone!



I just barely missed her blowing them out, but you really do blow at the phone and they go out!  So funny!



Then it was time for games!!!



First, we all watched Jessica and Aaron play Jumping Jackrabbit.  This was very hard!









Then it was on to skeeball, my favorite!



Stephen had so much fun playing it too!

































Mom and Dad played with us as well.







Stephen and Papa G played this game where you shoot balls and knock out the donkeys teeth.



Meanwhile Mamaw was playing this game.



And this one.





Aaron was playing the same game and hit the jackpot and got 173 tickets!









Stephen and Gran E did the photo booth.



At first Stephen wouldn't look at the camera at the right time, but then I started tickling him so the last 2 turned out cute.







We were trying to get Stephen one of these big balls.







I tried, Dad tried, Mamaw tried, and Aaron tried and none of us could get one.  We got it into the claw a few times, but then it would always drop out.



We played games for quite a while and then did some bowling!





They had this cool thing to help Stephen bowl!  It was so neat!  They also programmed it so that the bumpers came up just for his turn.





















I love this picture!!  Giving Daddy a high five!

































Stephen won, followed by Jessica, Dad, Aaron, Stephen III, Mom, Lisa and Roslyn.  Yes, Stephen beat Mom, me and Roslyn!  He had help though!!



After bowling we played some more games.



The same game that Aaron hit the 173 jackpot earlier, I hit 310!!!!




Since Mom booked an actual party, one person got to go into the ticket tornado, so we nominated Aaron.





Cheering him on!



Ok, so we saw this ride when we first came in and thought it looked pretty intense.  Upon further investigation though, we saw very small children riding it.



So, right before we left, we decided to ride it.  If you look on the right you can see Dad, me, a kid with his hands up, then Aaron and Jessica.



It was fun for a little while and then it just got bad!  Dad felt really sick afterwards and my head felt weird the rest of the day.  My mom says her grandmother always told her "it's hell getting old." and that's exactly what I felt like!

This was one tired boy!



He fell asleep as soon as we got in the car.



We really had such a good time!

Happy Birthday Mom!
