Boy Crazy

Today we are celebrating Seth's 8th birthday. Each year we pick someplace fun to take him and some of his friends. Last year we went tubing at Buck Hill so this year we went to swimsuits instead. The Red Wing YMCA offers a few different birthday party ideas. Seth chose Gym and Swim. Him and 11 guests could go swimming for a hour and play in the gym for a hour.

Seth is all about opposite days so we started the party off with snack, cupcakes, ice cream and presents.

After the chaos of presents, we headed for the pool!

It wasn't very busy so the kids didn't have to worry about lines or bumping into people.
The boys are crowded around a large water gun that can shoot the lights and practically across the whole room. YMCA was thinking when they had the gun turn off when pointing towards the lifegaurd stations. Otherwise, all are fairgame.

We brought a few footballs to throw around and some balls that sink to the bottom. We spent a little over a hour in the pool and it was great!

There are three areas of the pool. A kiddie area, waterslide and the large lap pool.

Next we headed off to the gymnasium for the kids to run laps and wear off any energy that they forgot to release while swimming.

Parents arrived and the party ended.

Besides the boys being loud and crazy during the presents, it was an all-in-all good day!
