Sugar High

With the cake was consumed and the party was winding down, Spencer decided to take one last jump in the magic castle jumper. Talk about bouncing off the walls...take a look at the video and then read the rest of this post.



Now what is Spencer saying as he runs around the bouncy house? "It's my leopard birthday. It's my leopard birthday," is about as close I can guess. In my book, that's right up there with "What's the frequency, Kenneth?" and "I am the Walrus."

I only managed to capture the scene with the camera after Spencer had run about seven laps. His friend Zach was running not far behind him BECAUSE...just after we entered the bouncy house, er "castle," I remarked on how they were running as fast as leopards. And they were off.

"I'm a leopard," one screamed. "No I'm a leopard!" the other one screamed. "We're leopards and we're running!" "We're leopards and we're chasing!" was heard soon after. "I'M (all caps) a leopard and chasing!" said one. "I'M (all caps) a person chasing leopards!" and on for four more laps. So, naturally, I had to get the camera. By the time I came back, Spencer was a leopard birthday. But luckily, his sugar-fueled-bouncy-house-lap-session had just about ended.

Rest assured, although it's hard to tell in the video, there was plenty of safety netting behind Spencer and Zach in the bouncy house. And nap / crash time was not long after...

Thanks to all our family and friends for being such a special part of a wonderful birthday celebration for Spencer. If you are having a birthday or special event, and need a leopard, a leopard-chasing-a-person, or a leopard-birthday, please feel free to contact Spencer to hear his very reasonable rates.

Happy Birthday Spencer!
