Ms O's 4th Birthday Party at The Little Gym

We are big birthday party people. Every year my kids pick a party and a theme. My daughter takes weekly classes at the Little Gym and you accrue member milestone points every semester. We had enough for a free birthday party so I "encouraged" O to have a party at the Little Gym. She was very excited and agreed we selected the Princess theme. We even went to Wal-mart and ordered this GREAT castle cake that was a bargain at $38.


Parties are usually very stressful lots of planning and preparing and I must say this one was anything but stressful. I passed my daughters class list onto the Little Gym and added a few friends and they took care of everything else, we literally just had to bring the cake on the day of the party.

When we arrived everyone we went to the party room where the table was set complete with a chair with balloons tied to it for the birthday girl. At precisely 4:30 they let the kids who were already there go in and have some free play in the gym. All of the kids loved running around and trying all the equipment.



When all the guests arrived they started the planned activities. They started with a warm up where everyone introduced themselves and did an activity following along to music.



After the opening activity out came the air track and the kids LOVED it, who doesn't love jumping and being silly?


The final activity in the gym was whale rides selected by Ms O. The kids who had never done them before were beyond excited.



After the hour in the gym we went back to the party room for singing Happy Birthday and having cake.

Finally we all congregated to watch O open her presents everyone of which she loved. The staff at the Little Gym even kept a list of who gave her what and for parents with preschoolers what a great idea since they rip them open faster than you can read the card.


All in all this was the Mr and I's favorite party ever beyond getting the cake we literally didn't have to do anything. Ms O and all of her friends loved the party too, she said, "It was the best." I would recommend a party at the Little Gym to anyone looking for something fun to do for a birthday party for kids age 1-6.
