Nyan’s BFF Kyle’s parents always throw great birthday parties (see 2015’s edition here), and this year was no different. It was at one of those indoor playgrounds where kids can run riot on slides, trampolines, hamster cage-like tunnels, and the like. This one also featured climbing walls and a high-flying obstacle course of sorts where the kids had to be strapped in to safety harnesses and wires!

Here’s the birthday boy, along with his mommy, his sister and our hero:

Some random running around and bouncing:

The staff at the party place did a great job trying to herd all the kids and play games with them:

Nyan bravely gave the climbing wall a shot. He didn’t quite make it, but look at that effort! Well done.

Random fun and cake:

About that obstacle course. Here’s our boy, bravely getting suited and booted:

And off he goes. A little unsure at first…

Swinging tires. But he persevered:

Fancy footwork and intense concentration on the rope ladder bridge:

Really proud of his effort on the entire obstacle course.

The birthday boy and his pals again. Another successful party. Thanks, Kyle!

BONUS: Here’s the boy just before the fun, doing his goofy dances as we wait for our taxi to take us to the party.

February was the month of birthdays. Multiple parties at school, and nearly every weekend brought one or more party at someone’s house. First up was Abi, who threw a lovely pool party at her condo down the road.

It was an iffy day, weather wise, and in fact we got caught in a shower walking to the party:

But the clouds cleared out and the party went on. Abi’s parents had hired a company that brings giant inflatable pool toys, and they were a huge hit.

Nyan didn’t quite get the concept of the waterslide:

He started to figure it out though:

Adriana, Nyan and Kyra enjoyed floating on a giant inflatable rainbow popsicle:

And (trying to) row a row boat across the pool:

Or just chillaxing in the water.

And of course there was cake

Mostly thought, it was about good times with good friends

A special surprise was Teacher Faiza, who had been Nyan’s teacher (and Abi’s, too) for most of the last two years.
