Krazy Kritters PlaySpace to celebrate Caydence's 2nd birthday!
(For those of you who don't know) Caydence is Julia's best friend. Her mom, Debbie, and I met at a local park last October. Our friendship began a lot like the relationship of a couple who meets at a bar. Debbie and I eyed one another, smiling shyly and then quickly turning away, slowly inching toward eachother. The initial conversation started with, "So, do you come here often?" After nearly two hours of idle chitchat and watching our girls play together (no shyness there), we awkwardly decided to exchange numbers. We met up at the park a few more times and within a few weeks we were getting the girls together almost daily for playdates at our houses and outings around town. Julia had a blast at Caydence's party. Krazy Kritters is one of those great indoor play areas that has a huge jumping castle and a massive climbing structure with tunnels and slides and bridges and even a flying fox (zipline) all padded and contained in netting so the children can pretty much have free reign of the place with minimal adult intervention. Since I've been at school we haven't seen Caydence as often, so Julia was thrilled to see her and immediately rushed over to give her a hug. They completely wore themselves out climbing and running and jumping and sliding and then enjoyed devouring all the party food, including a cupcake which Julia was very protective of (she's onto Matt now and knows that leftovers are not safe around him).
