After not getting a party two years in a row, Jackson was ready to plan something special to kickoff his last year in single digits. In keeping with his love of baseball, we hosted all his classmates for a party at a local batting cage. Conveniently, his birthday coincided with election day, so he had the day off and we were able to have the party on his actual birthday. They started off with some throwing contests, followed by a home run derby, game of pickle and a wiffle ball game. Then they had pizza and cake and finished up in the batting cages. He had a great time.
The only mishap was that there was no time to open his gifts, so we loaded them into the back of the van with the leftover cake, etc with the understanding that we would open them at home when I could write down who brought what for thanks yous. How far do you think we got before I started hearing paper tear and oohh and ahhs from the back? By the time we got home there was a huge pile of trash, a huge pile of gifts and cards scatter everywhere. Needless to say his thank you notes were rather vague....
