Nathan is 6!

Happy birthday to Nathan!  He has grown up so much this year being in kindergarten, and just constantly amazes us with his knowledge of the solar system.  So naturally that was his pick for his theme this year :)

6 looks good on you Nathan!

Alex showing Nathan the card he made him.

Present time!  Nathan knew instantly it was his very own copy of his favorite book (checked out 7 times from the library).

Star Wars Legos!!!

Learning all about building circuits with his Snap Circuits.

For his birthday dinner, Nathan requested to go to Beanstalk, a ropes course at Jordan's Furniture.  There is a lower area for the younger kids, nice and close to the ground.  And then a second and third level way high up for those feeling daring, along with a zip line.  Nathan did it all!!

Getting on the harnesses.

Ready to go!

First step out...

High above the Liquid Fireworks.

So high up, eek!

So relaxed on the zip line...

Alex rocking the lower ropes course.

Looks awfully comfortable in climbing gear :)

On Saturday it was time for his friend party.  Nathan has a super awesome class, and so he wanted to invite them all and play his favorite sport, dodgeball!

"Space is my place" perfectly describes our little astrophysicist.

The kids are all lined up to play dodgeball!

Alex right there with the big guys.

And GO!!!

Don't mess with Zoe and Avery!

When dodgeball gets boring, the mats are always popular (this was Alex's favorite spot when he did indoor soccer too).

Plotting his move...

And shoots!

Wearing out the kids...

To wrap up the gym time, there was some open gym.  Nathan and Brady have fun on the scooters...

Party time!!

Nathan's tasty cake (no chocolate to be seen).

Rocket ship crackers from TJs were Nathan's brilliant idea to go with the theme.

Only got a photo after the favors were pillaged, but Astronaut ice cream and a selection of space/planet books were on hand to say Thank You for coming!

And finally, singing happy birthday to the birthday boy!
