Celebrating Six

Cake and ice cream just wouldn't do for his 6th birthday.  Instead, Braden chose to celebrate with lots of variety and a few close friends. 

Boomers in Irvine was the location Braden chose to let loose for an afternoon and evening.
With lots of video games, rides and other activities, Braden jumped right into the action.
Ski Ball is a classic favorite that Braden did quite well at.
Braden played and played....pretty much Every. Single. Game.
He went to great lengths to score on Daddy in air hockey.
This smile indicated he must have beat him!
Braden's party was for some big kids too.  Stacy, Steve, Cornell and Steve played a round of miniature golf too.
Apparently Keegan didn't know just how serious Cornell is about the sport of golf...even if this was just mini golf.  These boys are so competitive!  Landin was happy-go-lucky as ever though.
Braden tried his skills out before using his new golf clubs he received for his birthday.
Looks like Zach, Jaydon and Lily were enjoying the sun-filled day.
Caden, Jaxon and Quinn had fun too!
Miniature golf clearly exhausted this crew....for a moment at least.  Jaxon, Buckley, Carter, Keegan, Landin, Braden, Quinn and Cornell took a brief break before heading over to the go-karts.
Gramma and Papa joined in the adventure-filled day too!
Despite the warning on the sign, there was definitely lots of bumping that took place.  After all, these kids are competitive and want to win....even when it means breaking a rule.
If only Braden was this serious about other things....He was determined to lap all the other racers....and he did!
These kids worked up an appetite after a couple hours of playing. 
They know they need their veggies...All the kids requested vegetables with their pizza!
Braden helped design a surfer-themed cake for his big day.
Braden was a bit embarassed while everyone sang Happy Birthday.
This group sure didn't sit still....
or stay quiet for long!
Braden earned hundreds of tickets from all the games he played.
After games, rides,golf, pizza, and cake, Braden wanted to play even more!
The Gickings made it a late night too!
Couldn't pass up on an opportunity to play laser tag.
This crew beat the teens they played against.

The security guard seemed humored by Braden's shenanigans in the fountain on our out of Boomers.
