This year Sierra asked to have her birthday at Ahoy Adventures so we did! I think the original reason was that there was a hiding spot on one of the play structures. I laughed at the thought of spending money on an afternoon kids could hide from us!
The mermaid throne
Ahoy Adventures was actually quite great. They have two private rooms available. We had the mermaid themed room. The kids get to play around on a giant play structure and about an hour later a mermaid comes in, plays limbo with the kids and then serves cake.
There were some happy kids after a two hour stay at Ahoy Adventures. They got juice, popcorn and a cupcake…what more can you ask for?
From a parent point of view, I remember Sierra’s party the year before involving a lot of preparation. I even had to drop two car loads of decorations, coolers, drinks, tables at the park and then pack all that stuff back up! I swear I didn’t empty the car for another week! This Ahoy Adventures was the cats meow for parents. Yeah it costs $300 but I think my time is worth money as well.
A few days after the party was Sierra’s actual birthday. Grandmaman made an excellent cake and some lasagna and we opened a few gifts. I always laughed when she would open a gift and she would say “THIS was on my wishlist as well!” I guess she was a happy girl for her eighth birthday.
