Please join us to celebrate Jared’s 7th birthday!

Lipka yoyo expert Glen will display some tricks and try to teach a few. We will provide yoyos for all children who have rsvp’d over age 5, but feel free to bring your own as well!

A light lunch and - of course – cake will be served

Families of invitees are welcome to stay and enjoy time at the park with us.

Rainy Day Plans: Bring your rain boots and jacket! We’ll go for it! I sure hope yoyos work wet!

Everyone rsvp’d and almost everyone came!!! We had a lot of people! I think the dads enjoyed the yoyos more than the 1st graders though. Developmentally, yoyos are probably a better 3rd grade party.

The Hidden Parks, East and West Hillsdale, are just perfect for parties. They are a decent size and the entire park is visible, so parents can socialize while kids play. They’re also pretty sparsely used generally. The hitch of no bathrooms is solved when your house is down the block! The park serves many ages well because big kids can play soccer or football, while little kids enjoy the sand and slide and 1st graders can enjoy it all!

It was starting to rain 30 minutes after the party was supposed to end and people were still hanging out! And that’s with no alcohol served!

Grandma Penny helped so much by making half the quiches plus the salad and generally helping cleaning and shuttling and just everything. Thanks mom!

Most importantly, Jared had a terrific time. Finally a party for him with no tears and tantrums. Just smiles
