We celebrated Kai’s birthday a week early since next week Ben is out of Kingdom and several of his friends are already starting to leave for the summer. It was a small sleepover with 4 friends and they had a blast. Bowling, running around the park at night with glow sticks and lots of Skylander video games.
The big unveiling of the cake
It was a Skylander theme with the character "Thumpback"
Nora's bowling form
You can see the ball hasn't hit the floor yet. She cradles the ball and runs at the lane and at the last second throws open her arms and lurches backward letting the ball fly down the lane. A crude form but effective. She had the highest score for the night.
Kai's follow through.
When it is good shot both arms go up.

Nora got to participate too. They included her very well (to their credit) but Kai definitely sets the tone in including Nora. They can squabble with the best of them but they know they are on the same team.
Happy 9th Birthday Kai!
