For Aiden's birthday, he wanted to forgo a big party (which, in this town, would not have been too exciting--not many indoor party options here) and, instead, enjoy a day of fun with his best bud, Andon. So, Brad and I sent Aubrey to spend the day with her bestie, loaded up the boys, and took them to Great Wolf Lidge in Kansas City to play MagiQuest for the afternoon. MagiQuest is one of Aiden's favorite things to do--it is basically a giant scavenger hunt through the resort that involves dueling dragons and casting spells and fighting goblins. Brad and I parked ourselves in a central spot in the lobby and watched as the boys raced from quest to quest. They had a blast! After a few intense hours, they completed the entire adventure and earned their coveted "Master Magi" buttons.
Afterwards, we headed back to the house, scooping Aubrey up along the way, where we enjoyed a delicious 'Angry Birds' themed cake before the boys headed back out with Brad for the big surprise of the night: tickets to Nuclear Cowboyz. Nuclear Cowboyz is motocross/X-games-like show with fireworks and lasers and babes in cheerleading-like get-ups. In other words, the boys were in HEAVEN. They laughed, snickered at the girls, and uttered a bajillion "WOW! Cool!"s before heading back home for a sleepover in the basement. As Aiden put it, "Mom, that was the best birthday EVER!" I'm glad it was such a success!
