We had our daughter's birthday party yesterday, she turned 9 and this is most likely the last big birthday party she'll be having. However, we had a great time.

We rented the Taekwondo dojon for an hour and a half, they throw one heck of a birthday party. You can invite up to 30 kids, they have a sample lesson, a demonstration, each kid gets to break a board and a birthday cake cutting ceremony using a sword.

Very cool.
