The Waterslide at Matt Ross Pool
His birthday was actually over a week ago, but we had the party yesterday. Robin set it up for the Matt Ross Community Center in Overland Park, which turned out to be a great place to have it. There was a party room with a sink and refrigerator there, their staff set up the decorations and took care of wheeling supplies to and from the room on some large food-service carts, and everyone got to swim in the zero-depth pool and go down the waterslides afterwards.
Unfortunately, few of the kids invited were able to make it to the party; we had two boys from his class, and two of his non-school friends. But that was enough. They all hung out together and had a great time chasing and going down the waterslide.
And more unfortunately, I left the community center missing my glasses; I had taken them off while getting Katherine into her swimming suit, and apparently forgot to pick them up again. Lost and Found hasn’t collected them yet, and if they don’t come across them by tomorrow I’ll be off to Lenscrafter’s again. I needed my prescription rechecked anyway.

Tell Thomas “thank you” for the note he wrote to us. We received it in the mail yesterday. What great printing for a young man! Loved the suspense as we turned the page!
Sounds like the birthday party was a hit.
Take care. Be safe.
Love,
Great Uncle Eric and Great Aunt Jenifer
