Yesterday was my nephew’s 5th birthday party.  It was held at a local kids fun center called Safari Sams.  It’s got a big climbing jungle gym, indoor minature golf, tons of games, and they serve pizza and such.  I’d heard of it, but had generally avoided it, the way we avoid chuckie cheese.  I knew once the kidlet laid eyes on the place, he’s be wanting to go back and back and back.  That’s the first thing he asked for this morning too! /sigh

We already have plans for the day though.  Portland Green Parenting is holding an event at The Pumpkin Patch on Sauvie Island.  The Pumpkin Patch is a fairly famous location; they have an incredible corn maze that’s been featured in Family Fun and Sunset magazines (and probably others that I don’t read ;)).  So we’re headed over there for the afternoon.  I don’t know that we’ll stay with the group the entire time.  For 2 hours they are doing a square dance, with lessons for newbies included.  I don’t think that I can convince the hubbie to participate in that, even if I wanted to, and I’m not sure that I do.  But there’ll be face painting and corn roasting and who knows what all.  Should be fun.

Edit:  here’s a pic of the hubby and kidlet on a raid in the Cow Train. =)
