Emily's Birthday party

My niece, Emily, had her 12th birthday party Saturday. Okay, actually it was only her second party for her 12th birthday.

She wanted a laser tag party, so Jenny (her mother, also works at Steradian) got a nice one put together. We had about 16 people playing, and Jenny did a great job of running it. I played, and helped try to keep the teams balanced. It was difficult, since we had a few players (Malachi, Corey, Colin) who were drastically more experienced than most of the others who had not played before.

I was quickly reminded how lopsided the game can become. So we found the best balance to be an even split of experience between the two teams.

We finished the day with a rotating game to wear the kids out before the sleepover, and lastly a game of everyone against Corey and Malachi. They two boys lost, but just barely.

A day with friends, laser tag, and presents!
