Today we had my son's 7^th birthday party at Jim's Gems and Gold.  It was AWESOME!  It was the easiest party we have ever done AND it was one of the best.  Not to mention it was probably the cheapest one we have ever done, too!  All of his parties so far have been at our house.  That means cleaning the house and yard before and after.  Not so at Jim's Gems and Gold!

When we got there they had a tent set up with 2 tables under it.  They had blue table cloths on them, which just happens to be my sons favorite color!  They had a sign that said "Happy Birthday Ryan - Welcome."  That was really cool!  I was very impressed by that. 

As the kids arrived I had them decorate a bucket to put their gems in.  Once everyone arrived BJ came out to talk to them about the various gems they would find.  She was incredible with the kids, so much patience!  Then it was time to start panning for gems!  The kids were so excited about everything they found.  And BJ was right there making sure they didn't dump anything "good" down the drain. 

As the kids finished up we sent them over to the picnic tables with a drink and their gems.  I think there may have been some gem trading going on.  We had cake, opened the gifts and then it was time to go home.  No clean up for us!  Just hop in our car with all the goodies and head home.  What a GREAT party!
