Gisella's 3rd Birthday

This birthday party was at Adventure City.  A fun place for all the kids.  Makayla went to Vinny's birthday here last year so not sure if she remembers it.  I know she was a bit smaller so she couldn't do all the rides.  This year she was able to ride almost all of them.  It's like a little miniature amusement park with very short lines!  It got pretty hot out there today!  There were lots of Makayla's friends there that she's met through these birthday parties.  She had so much fun!
There she is in front on the left hand side next to the Gisella the birthday girl.  Across from them on the Mr. Sunshine wheel is Jordyn (a different Jordyn) and her lil sis Jaylee.  Makayla already made me ride the sunshine wheel before everyone else got there so this was her 2nd round.

The 4 girls really stuck together.  Here they are on the bus ride.  It goes around and around and pretty fast.  All the girls were screaming loud!  Fun screaming!

Next the ran to the little choo choo train that they had to really work at to move.  It was fun but some girls struggled.  After that they rode the big choo choo train next door where all the parents could also join them.  There was also a pretty rough roller coaster that we went on prior to this too.  I don't wanna do that one again but they do!  I felt like I got whip plashed!

Jordyn was Makayla's best bud for the day.  She seems to enjoy playing with the older kids.  Jordyn I think is almost 5 or already there.  All the other kids were her age but she just attached to Jordyn.  

Look at this awesome cake!  It was so cute and so yummy with a marble cake and fudge filling!  They had a Little Nemo themed party.  I think she said the cake was from Cinderella Cakes.  

It's time to sing to Gisella now!  She's on left end there.  After she blew out her candle she licked all her toys on her cake and candle.  It was hilarious!  Before that they had served us all lunch.  Pizza, sandwiches, curly fries and more!  Super simple and yummy!  I love it that they just took care of everything.  Since Gisella's parents are also busy with her baby sis that's only 3-months old.  After cake the girls all got their goodie bags.  Lots of fun toys and a cool pair of Nemo flip flops!  Makayla loves them!  Then they all went to ride some more rides.  This time they went on some big ones!  There was one that shot them pretty high up in the air and dropped them down and up and down. I was kind of scared to be on it with them. They loved it so much they went twice.  Wish I had a picture, but I was on it so I couldn't it.  I'm amazed at how daring my little girl is!  She was again screaming loud!  All good screams though!

Well it's time to go now.  The girls have had  a long day  and fun day.  This airplane was their choice as the last ride. Mak was ready to go.  No complaints or anything. Gave all her friends a hug and we were out!  She was sooo tired.  Happy Birthday Gisella and thank you for having me play with you at Adventure City!
