Katharine's 7th Birthday!

  Katharine decided not to have a big party this year.  We got a zoo magazine in the mail that mentioned a backstage zoo tour at the Dallas zoo. Katharine loves animals, especially penguins!  She said that she would rather do the zoo tour when they begin in the summer, as her present. So instead we had Madison over and they had a mini party with a Disney Princess theme, and watched Frozen. :-). She blew out her seven candles and had a great time!  We love her so much!

Kaden and Colin's 9th Birthday

Kaden and Colin are 9!  They wanted to have a space themed birthday party at SciTech Discovery Center again, so we had a Rocket party and actually gave out rockets to our guests!  They got to make paper rockets and shot those off inside. Then they did an experiment to see what would cause the biggest Geiser with Coke. It turned out to be Mentos. :-). We were outside for this one!  The leaders allowed Colin and Kaden to both put the Mentos in the diet coke. They were told to RUN after plopping them in!  The Geiser was instant and several feet high!  Colin got a little on him. :-) They had a blast with their friends!  Apollo 11 cake and playing at SciTech finished out the party!
  Can't believe they are 9!  Such blessings!  So different!  Love to be their parents!
