Chandler's 10 1/2 yr Birthday Party

This year we finally broke the chaotic tradition of hosting friend-birthday-parties on Chandler's real birthday in December ... and had one in June instead! What a great plan! 7 of his friends came over for a spectacular party ... thanks to his creative daddy!

What do most 10 yr old boys like? SPORTS!!! As the guests arrived, they were greeted by Marc saying "Welcome to our Sports Challenge. Please weigh-in (on a real scale) and check your height (marked against the wall)." Then Marc timed them through drills, races, and competitions that you'd typically find in the NFL Combine and NBA Pre-Draft Camp (other activities were planned for the PGA Qualifying and Olympic Trials, but we ran out of time!). They did things such as a 40 yard dash, broad jump, 3 cone drill, basketball free throw percentage, etc. The boys were in heaven!!! They ended the party with a good ol' water-squirt-gun fight around the yard.

Chandler and two of his best friends, Nic and Jacob. (Too bad Jacob wasn't wearing his typical Denver Nuggets jersey! These are definitely little basketball fans!)
