Chase turned 8 years old this spring. On his actual birthday, we played an escape game together. For his birthday party, we had planned an outdoor lawn game party with crafts. He was very excited but unfortunately, it ended up raining all day so we had to move the party to an indoor play place. Chase still had a lot of fun with his friends and we ended up playing the lawn games and doing the crafts over the summer during various play dates. Chase requested a van Gogh cake that Nate had made at the local Stop & Shop. It turned out great!
