Fun and Games on Biw's 12th Bday!

Gabby is now 12! We initially planned to celebrate her pre-teen birthday in Orlando but money abandoned our pockets and made its way to improving Fairy, the house. We are still thankful for missed chances because Gabby gets to celebrate her birthday on not one but two separate occasions! 

Part one: Biwday with Mama and Papa at Activate.

We haven't done a family activity in a long while so the biwday was the perfect chance to do one. We have reserved tickets to Activate - an interactive video-game-like experience but in real life. We ran, jumped, crawled, and shot with various active games.

Gabby and Papa enjoyed playing each game while I officiated as the photographer. Dinner was later enjoyed at Mansion Kitchen. The food is not that great but the ambience is decent but none of that matters as long as Gabby enjoyed her special day.

Part two: Skyzone with Friends

Gabby has been asking to go to skyzone with her friends so I thought that a second celebration would be warranted. I booked the Mega VIP package which includes 10 jumpers, pizza and drinks. We also ordered Jollibee chicken to add to the spread. 

Skyzone was a huge world of trampoline where you can do anything related to jumping. From obstacle courses, basketball, swordplay, chess and lots and lots of bouncing. They also have vending machines for toys that require loads of coins. 

The staff decorated our party room, they even offered to facilitate the party which I politely declined. I prefer the party to be relaxed where the kids do whatever they want to do. 

While the adults didn't get to jump around, we still had fun catching up and enjoyed watching the kids have fun on their own.

Gabby, I hope this day was memorable for you and exactly what you wished your birthday to be. It may not be the grandest of celebrations but sure it was rich in laughter, fun, and friends.
