Calgary Kids Birthday Party - Hidden gem

Random pics from the Karate Par-tay!

Seriously if you live in Calgary and you're trying to plan a party for your kid you should check out Bow Valley Martial Arts. It was freaking amazing! Pizza, pop, chips, birthday cake, pinata, candy, loot bags and 1 hour of instruction. There was even a guest magician that popped in for a few magic tricks.

Aaron and I have spent more on booze alone for our kids parties in the past - for the adults of course - As much as I love to entertain and love having a backyard BBQ for Alex's parties I think we might be sticking with the karate for the next few years.

Anyways, enjoy the pictures!

Here's the birthday boy before we left for the dojo. Can you tell he was really excited?

Here's Alex giving the Gi Pinata a whack with the bamboo sword:
