Peter Pan Birthday Club

A few weeks ago we headed over to our first Peter Pan party at Cook Children's Hospital.  A little over a year ago, we went to Jenn Borg's son's birthday party where she had asked for us to bring a donation to Cook Children's Hospital in place of bringing her son, Boston, a gift.  I thought, what a great idea, Lincoln has more than he needs and with his stay at Cook's a few months back, I saw how this money could help sick kids feel more at home while in the hospital.  So this year we decided to participate in the donations for Lincoln's party.  Little did I know that we would then get invited to a party at Cook Children's to celebrate the donations our friends had given in his name. 

Lincoln and Kennedy both attend the Cook Children's Child Care, Kid's Place, and see this big playground everyday.  The playground was where the party was held and Lincoln was so excited he got to play on it. It was very different than any of the playgrounds around here, it had a cool sitting teeter totter and rolling slide. They had magicians and arts and crafts outdoors and pictures and another playground indoors.  Here is Kennedy coming in to cool off because it was 80 degrees that day.  She had fun on the foam play mat.
Lincoln got his face painted with his favorite super hero of the day, Batman!
The hospital is made indoors and out to look like a castle, so it would fit that the indoor playground had a Rapunzel tower!

Just climbing away!  She didn't want to look at the camera very much, haha!












She was too busy running away!
His face says it all!
They even had awesome cupcakes, I just wish I knew where the got them from, they were really amazing. 








We had a wonderful time and are really glad that we participated in this program.  Hopefully soon Lincoln will understand what he has done to help others and always have a giving spirit.
