Mason's 7th Birthday Party

This year it was Mason's turn to have a "big" party. Or in other words, some place other than our home ;) It took a long time for us to make a decision. It was worth the wait b/c this was a party made for Mason! Engineering for Kids hosted a "Dragon Battle Robotics" party.

First, they explained how the "brain" of the robot works. The boys did not assemble this part but there is a class or camp offered to teach that.
 Then they colored their dragons that would eventually be taped on their robot.
 Next, they picked out pieces to make their robot battle ready.
 The boys worked in pairs and very well, I might add.
They took turns battling each other. The goal was to push the opponent off the mat, or turn it over. We had a lot of stalled circling b/c they'd get tangled together. Then teams would quickly reassemble or reconfigure and bring it back for more. They was a lot of energy in the room at this point.
 Last, they all battled at once. Lots of cheering ;)
 Then they had pizza and "cake."
 Mason requested this same cake. I was thrilled because it's so easy.
I forgot the candles. Thankfully EJ's mom (who was visiting) bought party blowers, so they did that at the end of Happy Birthday.

It was such a fun party. It was great to BE there and not be in charge! Mason has some great friends.
