Birthday Partying - Coconuts Style!

Written by Tara, Posted in Product Review, Family

...like a bunch of Wild Monkeys

A couple weeks ago, my baby boy turned five years old. That is still blowing my mind, but I realize that by saying how fast they grow up I sound really old - so I'll just leave it at that.

To celebrate the big five, we told Big E he could have his birthday party wherever he wanted to, and that he could make up his very own invite list (you know, instead of us just inviting our friends as we've done most years). His choice was Coconuts Family Entertainment Center without hesitation. We love Coconuts, and Big E has been talking about having a birthday party there for almost a year!
