Would you believe that Charlie is 7 years old already?

February 16, 2009 - It's Presidents Day and the kids had a day off from school, so Jennifer arranged to have Charlie's Birthday party a few day early. Grandma and Grandpa picked up Summer and Allison in Chesterfield and made the drive to Columbia. The party was at the "Flipz" Gymnastics Center and it was the perfect environment for the kids. The raced, tumbled, bounced and climbed, yet nobody got hurt and all had a good time. Here are just some of the pictures from the glorious event.

Our Birthday Girl! And yes, her shirt and hair somehow got soaking wet, but we could never ascertain how that happened.	The climbing wall and Charlie is leading the way. Nothing seems to frighten this girl.	The Birthday Girl spends a quiet moment with one of her guests.	This is the "foam pit", which attracted a lot of visitors and heroics. I personally would not venture in there. Jimmy Hoffa might have been on the bottom of that pile!
Clayton and Israel trying their luck.	Chris gets in on the action on the trampoline. This shot doesn't begin to capture the jump height he achieved.	Pretty soon he was joined by all kinds of helpers.	Allison played it smart and waited until the traffic cleared.
It is time for the cake and refreshments.	The cake is served!	Now it's time to open the presents.	Wow! Thanks, guys!
I have one of those at home. It's a Hannah Montana whatchamacallit.	Baby sister wants to get involved as well.	Food critics!	Summer and Jennifer... Buds!
