connor's Birthday Party
plainfield, IL

introduction

Last week I attended a child's birthday party in Plainfield that was held at the YMCA, and even though the kids didn't seem to be too thrilled to see us, I think we all had a really good time there. Just one week later I was informed about another birthday party that was taking place in Plainfield, and since that's so close to home I couldn't resist doing it. Plus, I really have a lot of fun at kids' birthday parties (as long as I don't break my toe).

now this is a party

There were about 20-30 kids at the party, and most of them were very much fond of Star Wars. Those that did like Star Wars definitely showed their spirit and love for the great SW. Most of the kids had their own toy lightsabers and were whacking each other with them. The parents supplied all of the kids with these cheap Darth Vader masks, and all the kids seemed very excited to be wearing them. The most fun part of the party had to be when they attacked the piņata. And let me tell you, this was no simple piņata that you find at a store. It wasn't a mule or any other shape of an animal. It was a custom-built Millennium Falcon! It took all the kids and about 100+ whacks at it to break it open, and when the candy flew out of it the children swarmed all over it.

kudos to the parents!

I really want to say how great these parents are, by throwing such a terrific birthday party for their son Connor. Not only was it themed on Star Wars, but they were able to bring members of the Midwest Garrison over in their costumes. If I had to guess, I would think this could possibly be the best birthday party Connor would ever experience in his life time. You could just tell by the look in his face, that he really had a great time that day.
