The Big Guy's 6th Birthday



















































































































































































































































































































Colin's birthday started with a visit from Uncle Bob and Auntie Moira. He got some very coveted Thomas the Tank Engine books that he loves. Everyone enjoyed the cake :) The next day, we headed down to the children's museum. The kids loved the scarf room. You put the scarf or pom pom into he tube and the air pushes it out the other end. They love to try and catch them as they pop out. They built with blocks, created on the giant lite brite, constructed rodes and traveled back in time. Another favorite spot was the peek-a-boo mirror closet:) On Colin's actual birthday, we went to the zoo. The weather held out for us and there was a wonderful breeze. We saw many animals, but Colin's favorite this time were the wild dogs:) It was so fun to be there as a family of five!!!! We took a break for some water and a pretzel and then continued on to the Wetlands Trail. Nana came over a little later and we had more cake:) Colin got a keyboard and hasn't stopped playing it. He also got a netbook from mommy and daddy to watch Sprout, play educational games and take his spelling tests:)
