looks a blast
He looks so TOUGH!!!
Loud, I’m sure, but what a perfect party for an eight-year-old boy! My son would love that!
Happy WW!
Genny
Priceless look on his face!
Wow, great shot! He’s really into it
How fun!! I can’t think of a better way to celebrate being 8!
Happy Birthday!
My oldest daughter would be very jealous. She keeps asking to do this at the local bounce house. She’s tall enough, but her little brother isn’t, so I keep saying no. Don’t need that battle!
that’s adorable! What a great memory you captured
Thanks for hosting this! I’m never really totally on the ball with it, but it’s fun to participate from time to time!
Oh, I LOVE it!! That look is priceless!!
LOL, definitely looks ready to battle – great shot!
P R I C E L E S S expression, I can’t believe you caught him at this perfect moment. Even more…I CAN’T BELIEVE HE’S 8!!!
Geez…I remember when he was toddlin’!
He’s amped and ready to go look at him!
Laser Tag is awesome! My boys got it for Christmas and are LOVING it. They have been building forts in the snow, picking teams, and having “wars” against eachother
Wow, does he look tough! Great shot!!
Oh how fun!!
That game it is AWESOME!

WOW– he is REALLY ready to do battle…he must be a very mature 8 year old…I couldn’t imagine taking my 7 and 9 year old to laser tag yet…but they are both very immature for their ages — or they act their ages. Never the less — how fun for your son…I know that my husband is looking forward to stuff like this with our 3 boys!! Happy WW!

Oh that’s serious business! My son is turning 8 in two months and we’re thinking of doing the same for his party. I know he’d just love it!

It looks like someone takes his Laser Tag very seriously. Hope he had a fabulous birthday celebration.
Geared up and ready to go! How fun! Happy Birthday Jackson! Before you know, he’ll be wanting to have a paintball party!
All ready to go huh? How fun!
Oooh, fun. Happy Birthday to Jackson!!
What a tough guy! What a perfect party idea for boys!
What a fun way to spend a Birthday! Hope you had a wonderfully special day.
He looks so cute. He is just a little older than my son. I like watching them grow up it is fun to see them enjoy things as simple as a birthday.
Love the look on his face – he’s taking laser tag seriously!
Happy (belated) birthday to him! 
Wow ! I get the jitters ! Didn’t know that you have a little terrorist at home, lol !
Looks like fun!
I love how intent he is on the task and how serious he is! Looks like some serious fun was about to take place.
Sounds like a fun party!
now that looks like so much fun!
LOL love the face in this picture!! Ready to battle he sure looks like it! Hope he had fun with the laser tag!
Looks like FUN!!!

My husband was walking by the computer right as your site pulled up & was all “OH YEAAAH.” (He & my boys love anything hunting, shooting … guy-like! Although … I like shooting too … so not just guy-like I guess …)
All suited up and ready for war.
Great shot.
Wow! He’s sure serious about it.
He looks so cool!
We LOVED Laser Tag (and still do!) as kids. We had a set at home and learned to use the pictures and mirrors to bounce the laser off of them.
Glad to hear he had a fun birthday party! I’ve never played laser tag but have heard it’s a blast.
He is ready to go isn’t he. Nice photo.
It looks like he’s having fun! Very cute!
The boy looks a little intent ~hehe~. Totally determined.
Tough guy.
