Durante la fiesta en pantalla gigante se exhibió la película Jurassic Park, mientras que Jesse y sus invitados disfrutaban de un castillo brinca brinca, golosinas,
y deliciosos bocadillos. Las emociones continuaron durante la quiebra de dos piñatas, una fue emblemático dinosaurio y la segunda del “Spiderman”.
Posteriormente Jocelyn, y familiares frente al pastel le cantaron a Jesse el tradicional tema “Happy Birthday to You”. Jesse, muy atento apagó las tres simbólicas
